ABOUT
“BDS is more about collective, not individual, action. More important than keeping your own investments, purchases, and consciences clean is working within groups or coalitions to organize effective campaigns and build power globally to support the Palestinian struggle.”
— BDS, US Campaign for Palestinian Rights
We are a student-led coalition demanding that the University of British Columbia divest from weapons manufacturers and corporations complicit in violations of international law.
