Occupy Wall Street, Not Palestine!

[OWS Global Justice ANNOUNCE]

The Occupy Wall Street Global Justice working group invites you to 

Occupy Wall Street, Not Palestine! Teach-in On the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions to end Israeli Apartheid

Where: Free University at Madison Square Park, pool area

When: Saturday, September 22, 12 pm to 2 pm

What: Join the OWS Global Justice Working Group for a discussion of the boycott, divestment, and sanctions (BDS) movement for Palestinian rights. Members of Global Justice will elucidate how and why this global call from Palestinian civil society groups fits within the parameters of the Occupy movement. Representatives from local Palestine solidarity groups will give an overview of the BDS movement—its goals, history, strategies, and analysis. And finally local activists working on specific boycott and divestment campaigns will highlight their successes and challenges. Please bring your questions and concerns and join us for this important discussion.

Madison Square Park is located between Fifth and Sixth Avenues and 23rd and 26th Streets.

OCCUPY WALL STREET, NOT PALESTINE!

“Our aspirations overlap; our struggles converge. Our oppressors, whether greedy corporations or military occupations, are united in profiting from wars, pillage, environmental destruction, repression and impoverishment. We must unite in our common quest for freedoms, equal rights, social and economic justice, environmental sanity, and world peace. We can no longer afford to be splintered and divided; we can no longer ignore our obligations to join hands in the struggle against wars and corporate exploitation and for a human-friendly world community not a profit-maximizing jungle....” —The Palestinian BDS National Committee
