After two years of continued war, famine, and genocide in Gaza, trade unionists, activists, students, and communities from across Ireland will come together once again to march in solidarity with the Palestinian people on Saturday 4th October. 

Fórsa members will march shoulder-to-shoulder with thousands across Ireland to demand an end to the horrific violence we continue to witness daily. All members who wish to take part in the demonstration are encouraged to join the Fórsa delegation, which will be marching as part of the trade union bloc.  

Head of campaigns Kevin Donohue said: “Fórsa is hosting a coffee morning in Nerney’s Court on 4th October from 12.15pm for members to meet and get to know like-minded union members. We’ll have free coffee, pastries, and some cans of Palestinian Cola for those joining us on the day.” 

Members are encouraged to gather at Fórsa’s HQ in Nerney’s Court before the march to fuel up and meet the rest of the community of activists before taking to the streets.  

At 12.30pm, the Fórsa delegation will leave Nerney’s Court to join the trade union bloc, gathering outside Mandate’s offices across from the Gate Theatre on Cavendish Row. You can meet us at HQ or join us directly outside the Mandate office. 

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