Once again, Trump has unleashed brutal violence on a nation to control its resources in flagrant violation of international law.

We need clear, unflinching opposition to this from the Government.

UNISON utterly condemns the continued military assault and bombardment of Gaza.

Israeli government plans to force the population of Gaza into a deportation camp built on the ruins of southern Gaza can only be understood as ethnic cleansing.

🗣️PROTEST ANNOUNCEMENT 3PM BROADHURST PARK FCUM

We have stated our intent to unify our fractured fanbase across all key groups.

This is not an easy task. It is clear that somebody has to put a line in the sand then step over it. We will take that step.

Recently we met with FC United of Manchester @FCUnitedMcr We wanted to understand how and why they made the decision to walk away. Share ideas and discussed how we can unify and work together moving forward.

We know there’s a lot of history here. We know what happened 20 years ago. We know that FC United of Manchester is their continued protest against Glazer.

Our meeting was productive, and they are a group of genuine people who have and always will love United.

A group who were forced away on principle by the Glazer ownership over 20 years ago. It is clear ethically we have a lot in common and we believe we should all unite under a common unified cause to fight the greed of Glazer together.

👉We will attempt to unify fan groups. Even if this takes tough decisions and actions.
👉We will form a unity charter to outline actions and escalations against Glazer ownership.
👉Like minded and active groups will add their names to this charter to take action

On the 29th March we will be at Broadhurst Park for the first event of its kind. A joint protest against Glazer ownership as part of FCUM “The United United” day.

Plans are already in motion. We will also be doing a 58 Q&A before the game.

We encourage all United fans to join our unified protest which will be at the Stockton Town game.

Bring your banners. Bring the heat. Bring the noise.

We intend to make a strong statement that we are unifying. That we are mobilising our fanbase for a common goal in solidarity. That there will be more to follow.

Get yourself down there.

Together We Are Empire

More details to follow …

🗣️Protest a week on: From the edge of bankruptcy to a £2billion stadium in 24 hours

A lot’s been going on with our club over the last week.

- Last Monday there was an interview with Gary Neville and Jim Ratcliffe
- Last Tuesday plans for a new stadium
- Over the weekend another interview dropped

Don’t ever think that protests are not heard. This is not a coincidence. It is a well trodden path by our club.

We also campaigned hard for ticket prices and #StopExploitingLoyalty We warned about dynamic pricing weeks ago. More on ticket prices tomorrow after today’s announcement.

Despite what some think protests are not a silver bullet either they are a war of attrition and a much needed tool.

Now is not a time for sympathy or complacency. It is a time for a steely focus and determination.

It’s worth re-iterating what we stand for and our goals:

👉Ensure we have a responsible ownership model
👉Restore fan culture
👉Protect our heritage
👉Secure the community assets of our clubs and affordability
👉The future of our club is healthy for future generations

The primary goal is to remove the Glazers.

It is important anything done today doesn’t cement their future but sees the end of them. They are done. There is no way back for them.

Anything other than that is an insult to generational fans who have fought to remove them.

👉They have systematically destroyed a community beloved asset. Jim cant say it but we can.
👉They have destroyed a generation of fans. Jim cant say it but we can.
👉They have destroyed a footballing institution. Jim cant say it but we can.
👉They have turned a generation of fans away to form their own club. Jim cant say it but we can.

We will continue with the strategy to help remove Glazer from the foundation and fabric of our club.

We dream of a day whereby we dont have to be financial experts, legal experts, think of owners fleecing our club and just go back to following the team and loving the club.

Never forgive. Never forget.

Expect big things over the next few weeks that everyone can be involved in.

Thanks to everyone who stood shoulder to shoulder with their fellow fans on the protest. From young, old, families, all races and all walks of life.

Together in solidarity in a sea of black.

Here are some pictures and videos from the protests last week.

Thanks also to our photographer @ljcphotography_ for taking part in the protest.
