The UK government is launching a massive attack on our right to campaign in solidarity with the Palestinian struggle for freedom, justice and equality.

As part of this, the government is introducing new rules that would prohibit local councils from supporting BDS.

If you live in the UK, please take action to stop the government doing this.

Councils in the UK have voted to support BDS and to exclude companies that aid and abet Israel’s crimes from public contracts. Now the government wants to ban councils from these kinds of steps.

This is a massive attack on Palestine solidarity could have big implications for all sorts of progressive campaigning in the UK. These proposals represent a huge attack on local democracy.

A key part of these proposals is under consultation until 19 February, so now is the time to make your voice heard.

If you live in the UK, you can use this quick e-action tool to tell the government you are against the proposal.

If you live outside the UK, you can help by sharing this Electronic Intifada article about the UK government’s attacks on BDS.

Many thanks,
Palestinian BDS National Committee
