Decisive stage in WS Divestment Campaign!

Our WS-Divest petition of almost 3,300 signatures has now been verified by Democratic Services and that WSCC, after much wrangling, has agreed the campaign can make a 5-minute address to the next full council meeting on 12/12/25 followed by a debate. This will be the first item on the agenda.

Also we expect that at least one councillor will be putting a proposition to the Pensions Committee in support of the petition.

WS-Divest has been requested to submit its own concise statement to accompany the petition and it’s our understanding that this will appear on the Council website along with the agenda papers.

Chichester Cinema Palestine Film Season

The Chichester Cinema (in New Park) will be showing four films this autumn about Palestine. This is part of their Palestine Cinema Season.

If you wish to view all four Palestinian films the Cinema can provide all four tickets for only £35.00

WS-Divest strongly support the screening of these films in Chichester and we hope this will raise awareness of the ugly genocide taking place in Gaza.
