Nakba Day Solidarity Rides - 15 May
May 15th will be the 73rd anniversary of the Nakba or 'the catastrophe' when the Israeli state was declared in Palestine and 700,000 Palestinians were forced to flee. But the Nakba is not just an historical event. It represents ongoing resistance by Palestinians to the illegal settlement of their land and oppression by the Israeli state.
Some groups have organised local rides on 15th May to demonstrate their solidarity with Palestine.
