The Peterborough Coalition for Palestinian Solidarity will be hosting numerous events throughout Israeli Apartheid Week. Last year, over 35 cities around the world participated in IAW. This year takes place following a year of incredible successes for the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement on the global level. Lectures, films, and actions will highlight some of these successes along with the many injustices that continue to make BDS so crucial in the battle to end Israeli Apartheid. We encourage all interested community members to show their support and solidarity with campus organizers and the efforts made to provide awareness, education and participation.
