Youth Demand supporters interrupted the London Pride parade by throwing red paint and gluing themselves to the float of CISCO, a tech company with ties to the Israeli military. They demand a UK trade embargo on Israel and financial reparations from fossil fuel companies. The protest caused a delay of about one hour and resulted in five arrests. The activists accused CISCO of 'pinkwashing' its involvement in military actions against Palestinians and advocated for an end to partnerships that enable such actions.
Technology corporation CISCO has a long standing partnership with the Israeli military and enables the mass murder of Palestinians through advanced military communication networks facilitated by their Unified Communication systems.
They have willingly supplied their technology to strengthen Israel's genocidal assault on Gaza and have NO place at London pride.
We demand a total trade embargo on Israel and an end to the pinkwashing of complicit corporations.
The protest delayed the parade for around an hour and led to five arrests.
