Join Metro DC DSA’s Internationalism Working Group for a training on how to canvas for the Apartheid Free DC campaign with DC for Palestine.
As we approach the two year mark of the intensified genocide in Gaza, the situation is ever more urgent. Join this training about the campaign led by DC for Palestine to invite local businesses and organizations to sign onto the Apartheid Free pledge to boycott Israeli goods.
You will learn about the crime of apartheid, how to participate in canvas efforts, and how to support organizations in finding alternatives to products that support the Zionist occupation of Palestine.
The Apartheid-Free Communities network formed in 2022, following the emerging consensus among the international human rights community that Israel’s treatment of the Palestinian people amounts to the Crime of Apartheid. This U.S. coalition is convened by the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) and is part of the international BDS movement.
DC for Palestine started the Apartheid Free DC campaign when it joined this network and expanded the pledge to call for our community members to uphold specific boycott/divestment targets as part of signing on as Apartheid-Free.
