Boycott and Divestment Campaigns
In 2005 Palestinian civil society issued a call to the world to apply boycott, divestment, and sanctions against Israel until it upheld international law. Signed by more than 170 Palestinian coalitions, unions, refugee groups, human rights, and social justice groups in the occupied territories, within Israel, and in exile, this call is truly representative of the support that the Palestinian people believe they must have to survive and achieve their rights.
The US Campaign National Assembly of member groups voted to endorse the call at the 2005 National Organizers Conference. Academic & Cultural Boycott were endorsed in at the 2009 conference.
Before and since the call, the US Campaign has endorsed multiple BDS campaigns targeting Caterpillar, Motorola, Veolia, Ahava Beauty Products, the We Divest Campaign (calling on financial giant TIAA-CREF to divest), and various faith-based and campus-based divestment initiatives.
