Canada Revenue Agency revokes charitable status of organizations assisting illegal settlements and the Israeli military

August 13, 2024

Good morning. Remember that every day is a good day to call out the illegality of investing in the genocide of Palestinians.

LEARN. Read this article from Just Peace Advocates, “Canada Revenue Agency formally revokes the charitable status of the Jewish National Fund (JNF) of Canada and Ne’eman Foundation of Canada.”

NOTICE. What do you feel when you read this article? Do you feel excited, vindicated, or something else? If you feel any twinge at all that using the word “Jewish” is not OK in this context (or any critical context), please go to this Shades of Anger post to learn what anti-semitism really is (and what it’s not).

ACT. While the wheels of justice may be turning slowly for Palestine, make no mistake that the wheels are turning, thanks to the efforts of people just like you. In this collection of posts, learn more about how you can be a part of worldwide efforts to boycott, divest and sanction Israeli interests.

SHARE. Forward this to at least three friends who will celebrate this victory with you!

ASK. What else do you want to learn about how boycotting, divesting and sanctioning works? 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

*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 Democratic Republic of 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.
