4200 Cedar Ave S, Minneapolis

In 2005, Palestinians issued a call for boycotts, divestment and sanctions (BDS) against Israel, because of its violations of international law and attacks on Palestinian rights. BDS is now a worldwide movement against Israeli Apartheid, and the governments, corporations and other institutions that support it. Many Twin Cities organizations have taken up this call, and will share their experiences and strategies. International pressure – including boycott, sanctions and divestment – helped bring an end to the racist apartheid regime in South Africa. The more people take a stand against Israel’s crimes, the sooner another racist apartheid regime will fall.

Speakers: Sophia Hansen-Day (Anti-War Cmte); Tessneem Abdallah (UMN Students for Justice in Palestine); Sarah Martin (Women Against Military Madness); and a representative of US Palestinian Community Network. In addition to speakers, the forum will include fun activities and actions you can take today!

Refreshments and childcare provided.
