On December 22, 2025, activists gathered in front of the British Consulate in “Vancouver” to stand in global solidarity with Palestine Action hunger strikers imprisoned in Britain. Our rally was a response to the urgent and escalating health crisis faced by these political prisoners.
We delivered a letter to the Consulate demanding immediate action from the British government, and publicly read out the prisoners’ five demands: · An end to state censorship · Immediate bail · Fair trials · Deproscription of Palestine Action · Shutting down Elbit Systems More info here: Instagram

Join us for a weekend of actions to demand that Scotiabank divest completely from Israeli arms company Elbit Systems and to mark the Nov. 29th International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian people.
They’re feeling the heat, lets keep up the pressure! ScotiaBank’s global asset fund (1832 Asset Management) declared in its latest SEC filing for Sept. 30, 2025 that it now holds 164,676 shares of Elbit Systems valued at $US83 million ($117 million Cdn.). Although this is a significant drop from the previous quarter, we have seen this before and we won’t rest until they divest completely. More background info: Scotiabank Reinvests in Genocide

Some background: Committee activists joined the international movement demanding that the French government free Georges Abdallah. There was a picket on July 14 outside the French consulate to highlight this demand. (Abdallah was finally released on July 25, 2025.)
The committee then held a day-long protest at CBC Vancouver headquarters on August 23, 2025. (photos below)
Finally, the committee has also been presenting multiple study/discussion group sessions on prisoners, emphasizing why they are the compass for the struggle. The latest was on November 6 about the importance of Marwan Bargouthi.
