Ideas for Action




Some examples of things you can do support the Global BDS Action Day on March 30th, 2009.



Join the Academic Boycott of Israel
Connect with other U.S. students and Faculty using academia as a tool for nonviolent non-cooperation with the Israeli military occupation of Palestinian people and land.

Stop Caterkiller!
Use boycott and divestment as tools to stop Caterpillar from selling D-9 bulldozers to the Israeli military. These bulldozers are used illegally for collective punishment and destruction of Palestinian villages.
