Heartening to see thousands out across towns and cities in the UK to stand against fascism and violence. Hoping to see a great crowd in Belfast on Saturday.

Great message by @officialgaa president Jarlath Burns. 👏 The Irish diaspora exemplifies how cultural exchange enriches societies. Embracing multiculturalism helps us grow stronger and more vibrant together.

Please RT. Your voice matters. Tomorrow, as you march with thousands of others on the streets of Belfast, know that you tried to defend the defenceless in a faraway place that you will probably never see. Know that you did the right thing. Free Palestine 🇵🇸
