Make your voice heard at PSC’s AGM

Scene from a past AGM

Many of you are doubtless members of PSC and will be attending its forthcoming AGM on February 1st, 2025. If you have not already registered for the AGM, you can still do so HERE.

If you attend, you may want to support a motion submitted by Camden PSC. Camden is asking PSC to clarify where it stands on the Zionist doctrines at the root of Israeli's oppression and ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians since the 1940s. In particular, the drafters of this motion feel that PSC needs to reset its relationship with an organisation called Stand up to Racism (SUTR) that seems to be serving, in part, Israeli interests that are at odds with those of the Palestinians.

Here is the motion:

The Israeli Occupation force has carried out a year long slaughter of Palestinians in Gaza and carried out illegal Military activity in the West Bank and Lebanon. Over 40,000 have been killed, half of them women and children. 90,000 have been injured. These numbers are expected to increase when others are found and identified under the rubble.

This branch also notes Stand Up To Racism (SUTR) has not condemned the Israeli genocide and in the past has allowed Zionists to join its anti-racist marches, notably in Glasgow.

Therefore, this branch demands that National PSC enter talks with SUTR to convince them to:

1. Denounce Israel and confirm it is an apartheid state.

2. Denounce Israel's genocidal actions and denounce Zionism.

3. Agree and put out a statement that Zionism is inherently racist and therefore Zionists have no place in any anti-racist movement.

When SUTR agrees to these points, PSC can mobilise to support SUTR We also demand that PSC clarifies its position with reference to SUTR to their members.

So if you are going to the AGM, please consider supporting this motion.
