Check the Label Campaign - Boycott Israeli Dates
We have leafletted Central Mosque in Station Pde, Willesden Green, Wembley Central Mosque, Ealing Rd as well as shops in Willesden and Kilburn. Thanks to all the volunteers. As always, we had a really positive response.
This Friday, 13th August we will be leafletting outside the Mosque and Islamic Centre of Brent at 33A Howard Rd NW2 from 12.45 to 2pm. There are 2 exits- Howard St and Chichele Rd. Come and join us . We will bring the postcards and placards. On Friday 20th August we will be leafletting the Wembley Central Mosque in Ealing Road, Wembley from 12.45-2pm
We may be leafletting the Harrow Mosque next week and leafletting again Mosques in Ealing Rd and Station Pde during Ramadan.
All welcome to help. Please contact Liz at llindsay149@btinternet.com. For Ealing Rd mosque, contact Martin at mafran@globalnet.co.uk
. The more people we have the bigger the impact and the more likely we are to convince people that the campaign is worth backing.
