21: Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions with 24 Hours for Palestine on Sunday 21 July 2024

Описание: Session #21: Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions: A Call to Action
This session will discuss the importance of Boycotting, Divesting, and Sanctioning (BDS) Israel as a means of exerting pressure. We will explore what BDS entails in practical terms, including its goals, methods, and the impact it seeks to achieve. Join us for an in-depth examination of how BDS serves as a non-violent strategy to support Palestinian rights and promote justice.
Moderator: Mei Shigenobu (Journalist, Producer, Researcher)
Speakers: Mustafa Barghouti (Palestinian physician, activist, and politician), Nadya Tannous (Palestinian Youth Movement), and Khalid (student)

We come together, from North America to the Middle East and across the world, to speak out against genocide, forced displacement, cultural erasure, the murder of civilians, and the systematic silencing of Palestinian voices, narratives, and heritage. We call for an immediate and permanent end to Israel’s genocidal military campaign against the Palestinian people, funded by United States tax dollars. We call for an end to Israel's apartheid system and its illegal occupation of Palestine. We call for the complete and unequivocal liberation of the Palestinian people, including the right of return. And we call on our global theatre community to stand with us, and to speak out with us, against genocide and for justice and liberation. We call on you to stand on the right side of history.
