CPSC update 4 October 2024

A busy week of activities are planned as we approach a year into the current conflict in Gaza and the widening of attacks by Israel in Lebanon, Syria and beyond. Please share details of both the national and local events planned to others so we can ensure a good turnout to keep the pressure on the government and to keep people focussed on this issue.
