Vigil for the lives lost in the genocide against the Palestinian people

Here, Now. At Elbit (UAV Tactical Systems, #Leicester)

Many companies that support Israel need to be boycotted. We focus on Coca Cola, the only cola at #GlastonburyFestival.

Coca-Cola violates international law by operating on stolen Palestinian land. Stop Coca-Cola profiting from the occupation
