We were so well represented as a club  on this march last year. Lets boost our numbers even more this year everyone ❤️. 

A Chara,

I’d like to extend an invitation to your club to collaborate on our ‘Great March for Gaza & International Justice’ due to be held on Saturday 6th June 2026 from Lurgan to Newry.

We’re aiming to build on the momentum from last year and place a stronger emphasis on a shared anti-war and peace message across communities, bringing together people from different backgrounds, faiths and traditions in a spirit of solidarity and compassion. This has to be the path forward to go ensure a more peaceful and equitable world for all.

We feel strongly that the more groups we have working together the more impactful it will be in messaging. This is a ultimately march of  hope, a march of compassion and a march for humanity.

We are asking all the GAA clubs to come along in club colours with their banners to call on our governments to push the cause for peace and reconciliation and fundamentally to call for an end to the occupation and genocide in Gaza.

We have representation from numerous community groups and different faiths and we feel the GAA is such a core part of local communities that it would be remiss for the GAA not to be represented at this event.

We will also be fundraising for charities that work in Palestine.

As previous we are more than happy to make representation at your next committee meeting to answer any questions re the march or you can quite simply let me know if you are interested in attending and I will send further details on the event timings route etc. There will be groups/individuals walking the entire route but many others will just join at certain points along the way.

We would love to have you with us at what promises to be a wonderful day of community solidarity.

Is mise le meas
