Activity ideas

"Build it and they will come!"

We really hope people and groups will organise activities that support and encourage freelancers to take action in solidarity with Palestine.

If you're thinking of organising an activity, please get in touch ASAP. We can discuss it with you, help you organise it and add it to the calendar.
