In the last eleven months of employment with Peace News (ie. before they were forced to resign) the PN staff helped to raise over £16,200 for Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP), by giving away Gaza solidarity badges for a donation at the big marches in London.

We have now revised and reprinted two of these badges (‘Ceasefire Now’ and ‘Stop Arming Israel’) and will be back on the streets with these on 5 October (once again, all proceeds will be donated to MAP). We hope to make these badges will also shortly be available through this website too.

Update added 6 October 2024: At the 5 October ’24 national demonstration we raised a further £678.19 for Medical Aid for Palestinians by giving out the badges below for a donation.

Update added 15 December 2024: At the 2 November ’24 national demo we raised a further £660 for MAP. At the 30 November ’24 demo we raised a further £328 for MAP.
