BDS Victory - Anti-boycott bill in UK defeated!

May 31, 2024

Good morning. Remember that divesting away from businesses that support the genocide in Palestine is a choice YOU can make - and it will hit in their wallets, where it hurts the most!

LEARN. When we all work together, we have a big voice! Read this press release about how the Palestine Solidarity Campaign in the UK achieved a victory for the BDS (Boycott/Divest/Sanction) movement.

NOTICE. How does it feel to know you are part of a movement that is forcing the world powers to sit up and take notice of their harmful actions? Do you feel powerful, excited, elated, or something else?

ACT. Do your part! Commit to boycotting 3 of the companies on the BDS list (here) today.

SHARE. Right now, send this email to 5 people or groups who can and should join you in boycotting immediately.

ASK. What else do you need to know about boycotting? Please reply to this email (or, if you are reading this online, leave a comment below) to let us know.*

In solidarity for Palestinian liberation,

Kay Coughlin, on behalf of the Shades of Anger collective

P.S. Watch for more resources on divesting to come from us in the near future. We know it is absolutely critical to take economic action immediately!

*You can also continue the conversation with us in the Speaking Up Network, a private social media platform co-created by Animah Kosai, one of the leaders of Shades of Anger.

Shades of Anger was created by a global collective of women to raise awareness and inspire action to free Palestine. We chose the name of our collective to honor the poem, “Shades of Anger,” by Palestinian-Canadian poet Rafeef Ziadah. We also believe in liberation for Sudan, the Congo, Haiti, and all places where systems of oppression are causing immense suffering and crushing the life out humans. We are led by women of the Global Majority/BIPOC. Shades of Anger is for everyone who wants to act for liberation and you can learn more about it here.
