Canadian BDS Coalition: Five Years and Counting
LEARN MORE
About BDS
In July 2005, Palestinian civil society issued a call for a campaign of boycotts, divestment and sanctions (BDS) against Israel until it complies with international law and Palestinian rights. A truly global movement against Israeli Apartheid is rapidly emerging in response to this call.
The Canadian BDS Coalition is comprised of groups in Canada that support the global Boycott Israel movement targeting Israel’s system of settler-colonialism, occupation, and apartheid towards the Palestinian people.
The Canadian BDS Coalition currently has member groups from across the country, as well as a number of national organizations.
