📢 IPSC Lurgan: Week of Action for Gaza

October 7th marks two years since the genocide in Gaza began. Two years of mass killing, displacement, starvation and devastation – while the world’s governments remain entirely complicit.

IPSC Lurgan will be holding a week of action to stand in solidarity with the people of Palestine, to demand an immediate end to Israel’s genocide and to call for justice, freedom and return for the Palestinian people.

📍 Join us throughout the week as we:
• Honour the lives lost
• Amplify Palestinian voices
• Take action locally for boycott, divestment & sanctions (BDS)
• Demand accountability for war crimes

🗓️ Details of each action will be shared daily – keep an eye on this page.

🇵🇸 Stand with Gaza. Stand with Palestine. End the genocide NOW

LURGAN DEFENDS TRANS HEALTHCARE

PBP Lurgan were proud to join a 500-strong crowd marching through the town for our second ever Pride! ✊️

Powerful speeches in the park from the union movement and local gay and trans activists really hit home. They highlighted the importance of coming together and celebrating the LGBTQ+ community, and defending them when they come under threat

Lurgan branch activists down supporting the struggle for LGBTQ liberation at Belfast Pride

With high profile attacks on the trans community coming thick and fast, and far right forces attempting to normalise queerphobic rhetoric, it is important that we stand united and square behind the LGBTQ community

State forces under capitalism are running rampant trying to misdirect working class anger downwards, seeking to distract from the intentional dismantling of public services and spiralling wealth inequality. Trans people are not to blame for soceties woes, just as migrants are not the reason you aren't paid a fair wage or can't get housing. Let's remain unified in the face of establishment attempts to divide us

Lurgan Pride is next on the agenda on the 16th of August. It is critical that we have a massive turnout, to stand against the horrific smears used by unionist parties as they tried to block Lurgan Pride from going ahead

Q***r rights, workers rights - same struggle, same fight ✊️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

STATEMENT ON RACIST ATTACK IN PORTADOWN

It is deeply disturbing that in this context of widespread violence against migrants and people of colour, a group of racist thugs have driven a family from their home in Portadown yesterday. Given the recent riots and pogroms in Ballymena and indeed Portadown itself, we must address and confront the fact that racism is spreading like wildfire in our communities.

This is a sickening attempt to intimidate people who play a valued role in our society, and we offer our unwavering support and solidarity to the family during this time.

A toxic and violent atmosphere is being whipped-up across Ireland, scapegoating those who weren't born here and those of different skin colour, blaming them for the failings of a capitalist system that is not providing for us. Let us remember that the latest census shows that the north of Ireland is 97% white - if every migrant was deported tomorrow you would still be broke, unable to access healthcare, extorted for your rent or unable to buy a home. You would still be exploited by an uncaring system that's past it's sell-by date.

Our common enemy is those who stoke up racist tensions to distract from the fact that we are being robbed blind in a time of truly obscene wealth hoarding by the ruling class.

Migrant effigies burnt, racist mobilisations north and south (egged on by British fascists like Tommy Robinson), and increased hate crimes against innocent families.

This is what we must come together to fight back against. Punch up, not down. We are stronger together and must rise above any attempts to divide us.

MPs later today will vote on Keir Starmer's terrible and cruel welfare cuts.

The British Government says they need to 'balance the budget' - but instead of taxing the billionaire wealth that is skyrocketing, they are punching down on disabled and vulnerable people.

MPs should vote against these disastrous and punitive plans.

If these proposals pass, it is decision time for Stormont.

Ten years ago, Sinn Féin, the DUP and Alliance put their differences aside to allow Westminster to implement welfare reform in the North. The consequences have been dire, as People Before Profit warned they would be. The only reason Starmer's cuts will impact us here is because of this decision a decade ago.

In 2025, have the big parties learned their lesson? Will they stand up to Westminster, and refuse to implement these vicious cuts? Or will they bow down to this austerity agenda and once again punish ordinary people?

We need to be out on the streets demanding the big parties don't repeat the sell outs of the past:

Say No To Welfare Cuts!
