Aberdeen HCW for Peace urge you to act NOW to save our colleagues in Gaza and the starving, homeless population they serve.

Weekly Demonstration in Support of Palestine, fighting ethnic-cleansing, apartheid, genocide and colonialism.

This week it will start outside the Art Gallery and move to Belmont Street after the parade.

Our weekly Radical Cafe, a space to meet and build those connections with local activists, come along for convivial chat, a look at the new books in the swap and shop, and meet other people active in the city.

We are also Saddened to hear of the passing of Steven from the Vegan Bay Bakery who supported us so well with cakes every week, our hearts go out to his family, and we'll greatly miss the butteries.

**So until we source a new supply the cafe will be asking for home-bakes, you can bring butteries, cakes or whatever else you can rustle up for the overworked activists of Aberdeen.

Any leftovers will be taken to Westhill to be distributed there.

Community groups and local residents are gathering on Saturday 23 August, from 5-7pm, for a peaceful event outside the Hampton Hotel on Straik Road, Westhill. There will be food, music, colourful banners and messages of hope for the refugees living there.

Why Now? Throughout August, angry protesters have targeted people seeking asylum across the UK, standing outside their homes and shouting threats and abuse. This has happened at two hotels in Aberdeen. Westhill is their next target.

These protesters - often bussed in from all over Scotland - say it's about local concerns. So why are they targeting vulnerable people who have nothing to do with government cuts to public services? Protesters have zero evidence for their accusations about hotel residents, who are stuck here while the Home Office deals with a backlog of paperwork, and who volunteered to clear our parks after Storm Floris.

Imagine fleeing your home, leaving everything behind to escape war or persecution, and suddenly finding yourself not only alone in a new country, but unable to go outside because a terrifying mob is threatening your life.

This is our community and we cannot let our neighbours be treated this way.

If you're thinking, "plenty of folk will be there, I'll go if they turn up again," please note: Saturday will be the fifth such demonstration in our area in just three weeks - it is vital we stand together NOW and reject this message of hate!

Please join us in a spirit of friendship and compassion to say "Our Community Cares."

Westhill welcomes refugees, not racism!
