Wednesday, November 29, All Day
On the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, the #BDS movement is calling for an all day social media storm. Our physical and digital actions can be used together to strengthen our demands:
Permanent ceasefire and lifting the siege to stop Israel’s genocide in Gaza.
Lawful sanctions on Israel, including a #MilitaryEmbargo.
Pressure on the International Criminal Court (ICC) to issue arrest warrants for Israeli leaders.

to use for the social media storm.
Over the last 7 weeks, millions of you have taken to the streets for the largest protests the world has seen in the last 20 years! We are grateful to each one of you who, through your voices and creative actions, have built up unprecedented grassroots power to end Israel’s genocidal war against 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza. Yet, Western governments are continuing to arm, fund and provide political cover for Israel’s genocide.
We must act urgently to end all state, corporate and institutional complicity with Israel’s genocidal apartheid regime. Palestinian lives and livelihoods literally depend on it. To this end, and as time has shown, BDS is the most effective form of solidarity with the Palestinian liberation struggle.
On Nov 29 we call for escalating worldwide peaceful mobilizations and expressions of meaningful solidarity to stop the genocide including:
Whenever feasible, organizing peaceful disruptions, sit-ins, occupations, etc.
Disrupting the transport of weapons, or weapon parts, to Israel, including in transit states.
Pressuring parliaments and governments to cancel existing military-security contracts and agreements with Israel.
Intensifying #BDS campaigns and campaigns to cut all ties to apartheid Israel and its complicit academic and cultural institutions as well as sports teams.
Mobilizing your community, trade union, association, church, social network, student government/union, city council, cultural center, etc. to declare itself an Apartheid Free Zone (AFZ).
Pressuring your elected officials to demand the International Criminal Court (ICC) issue arrest warrants for Israeli leaders. The ICC prosecutor should be replaced if he continues to drag his feet and ignore his legal obligations to stop the genocide.
If not now, when? Unite now to stop #GazaGenocide and dismantle Israeli apartheid!
In solidarity, The Palestinian BDS National Committee (BNC)
The nonviolent BDS movement for freedom, justice and equality is supported by the absolute majority in Palestinian society. BDS rejects all forms of racism and racial discrimination.
