Thwart the Oppression of Palestinians: From Home, Nonviolently

ANTI-RACISM ACTIONS
Written By Martha Hurwitz

The Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement against "Israeli and international companies that are complicit in violations of Palestinian rights" has been active for almost 20 years. Since the genocidal-level of violence the Israeli government has sustained against Palestinians since Hamas' Oct. 7 attack, the BDS movement has gained a lot of ground.

This detailed article from a few years ago about BDS gives comprehensive info about history, impact, and complexities.

  • Your action:

    • Boycott: Companies with the most impact include HP, Siemens, AXA (insurance), Puma, SodaStream, Ahava Cosmetics, Sabra Hummus, 

    • Divest: Urge the banks, councils, faith-based organizations, pension funds, and universities you're connected to withdraw from Israeli investments.

    • Sanction: Participate in actions that pressure representatives, congresspeople and government officials of all kinds to fulfill their legal (national & international) obligations.
