The Coalition Against Israeli Apartheid (CAIA) invites you to join us from October 6-8, 2006 for “Boycotting Israeli Apartheid: The Struggle Continues” a broad-based conference dedicated to promoting the growing
anti-apartheid movement in Palestine and abroad through a comprehensive boycott, divestment, and sanctions (BDS) campaign targeting Israeli apartheid.
The conference will include participants from Palestine, South Africa and Turtle Island; bringing together all those working on BDS as a means of dismantling Zionist racism and opening up new spaces for creative action.
The conference aims to develop understandings, strategies and networks that can give impetus to a national BDS campaign.
The weekend will also serve as a showcase of the Palestinian arts,
featuring cultural programming and a marketplace of alternative ‘Apartheid Free’ products from Palestine. Furthermore, BDS campaigners from across Canada, representing different community, faith, labour, and student organizations will be on hand to share in this important strategizing, networking and learning experience.
