Continues” a broad-based conference dedicated to promoting the growing
anti-apartheid movement in Palestine and abroad through a comprehensive
boycott, divestment, and sanctions (BDS) campaign targeting Israeli
apartheid.

The conference will include participants from Palestine, South Africa and
Turtle Island; bringing together all those working on BDS as a means of
dismantling Zionist racism and opening up new spaces for creative action.
The conference aims to develop understandings, strategies and networks
that can give impetus to a national BDS campaign.

The weekend will also serve as a showcase of the Palestinian arts,
featuring cultural programming and a marketplace of alternative ‘Apartheid

Free’ products from Palestine. Furthermore, BDS campaigners from across
Canada, representing different community, faith, labour, and student
organizations will be on hand to share in this important strategizing,
networking and learning experience.
