The call has been issued from Palestine. Join activists around the world in the first week of March to educate others on Israeli Apartheid. We will help you plan and execute activities on your campus so that you can participate in this important week: stronger together!

What is Israeli Apartheid Week (IAW)?

IAW is an international series of events held in cities and campuses across the globe. IAW will be running for the fifth consecutive year in 2009, with events taking place the first week in March in the USA, Canada and Palestine, South Africa and the United Kingdom. The week’s events include lectures, multimedia events, cultural performance, film screenings, demonstrations, and more.

Why should you participate in IAW?

The aim of IAW is to contribute to this chorus of international opposition to Israeli apartheid and to bolster support for the BDS campaign in accordance with the demands outlined in the July 2005 Statement: full equality for Arab-Palestinian citizens of Israel, an end to the occupation and colonization of all Arab lands – including the Golan Heights, the Occupied West Bank with East Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip – and dismantling the Wall, and the protection of Palestinian refugees’ right to return to their homes and properties as stipulated in U.N. resolution 194. We must join our voices to demand change.

What can you do on your campus?

We suggest several events. You can screen a film, host a speaker, table with information, organize an activity, etc. We are happy to direct you to resources and help you organize! Just let us know.
