Fórsa will be marching for Palestine once again on Saturday 22nd March 2025 and you’re invited to join our delegation in the trade union bloc to show solidarity with the Palestinian people and call for an end to the genocide.  

Fórsa members are invited to meet from 12.30pm outside the Mandate Trade Union offices on Cavendish Row (across the road from the Gate Theatre). Flags will be available for collection from the Nerney’s Court office at 12.15pm.  

The march will begin at the Garden of Remembrance at 1pm and finish outside the Dáil on Molesworth Street/Kildare Street to bring our demands to the Irish government’s doorstep. 

The Ireland-Palestine Solidarity Campaign, supported by over 150 Irish civil society organisations, called for a national demonstration this month, stating: “Despite a fragile ceasefire bringing an end to Israel’s genocidal carpet bombing of Gaza, Israel continues to routinely violate the terms of the ceasefire, and has escalated attacks on Palestinians in the illegally occupied West Bank, with 40,000 forcibly displaces from refugees camps, and widespread attacks on the healthcare system. In the ruins of Gaza, they are still counting the dead, with around 62,000 now feared dead, and children still dying from cold, malnutrition, and lack of medicine.” 

This demonstration takes place during ‘Anti-Racism Month’ and will be the first event of Israeli Apartheid Week 2025 – a global week of action, now in its 20th year, being organised in hundreds of towns and cities across the world under the slogan of ‘People Power Makes Apartheid History’.
