Causes: Civil Rights, International, International Human Rights
Mission: We are a national coalition of more than 400 local and national organizations working together to support Palestinian human rights. We are the only U. S. -based coalition uniting a diverse array of organizations and constituencies into a common platform to advocate for an end to Israel's occupation and apartheid policies. We support a just and lasting peace based on freedom, justice, and equality for all.
Results: This summer, the Presbyterian Church (USA) General Assembly voted to divest $21 million from Caterpillar, Hewlett-Packard, and Motorola Solutions due to their complicity in Israel's military occupation. A nationwide network of activists blocked attempts by pro-Israel groups to allow Israel into the Visa Waiver Program by securing an amendment that effectively bars Israel from entering the program until it ends its discriminatory treatment of U. S. citizens. In October, just a few months after occupation profiteers G4S and Veolia announced their plans to end contracts with Israel, SodaStream announced that it will be shutting down its factory in an illegal Israeli settlement in the West Bank, proving that boycott, divestment, and sanctions campaigns are having an impact on companies profiting from Israel's continued denial of Palestinian rights.
Target demographics: support a just and lasting peace between Palestinians and Israelis.
Direct beneficiaries per year: coordinate SodaStream boycott campaign, support Presbyterian divestment from companies profiting from Israel's occupation, and educate lawmakers and their staff with five Congressional briefings.
Geographic areas served: the U. S.
Programs: boycott, divestment, and sanctions campaigns to challenge institutional complicity in Israel's violations of Palestinian human rights.
