SUMMARY:Divest for Palestine Conference
DESCRIPTION:Divest for Palestine Conference\n\n\nWhere next for the solidar
 ity movement?\n\n\n\n\nPalestinians continue to face the darkest hour in t
 heir enduring struggle for liberation. Israel's genocidal assault has kill
 ed many tens of thousands and displaced 90% of Gaza's population. Across t
 heir homeland and in exile\, Palestinians are subjected to a system of opp
 ression that is recognised internationally as meeting the legal definition
  of the crime of apartheid.\n\nOver nine remarkable months\, millions in B
 ritain have so far taken to the streets in an unprecedented series of demo
 nstrations demanding an end to British state\, corporate and institutional
  complicity in Israel's crimes.\n\nNow\, this historic movement will come 
 together to discuss the urgent need to escalate our struggle for Palestini
 an freedom.\n\nOn 10 August\, a major conference in London will chart the 
 way forward. We must mobilise popular pressure\, across every sector of so
 ciety\, to break the ties of complicity linking British institutions and c
 orporations to Israel’s machine of murder and oppression.\n\nThe inspiri
 ng student encampments have already brought a renewed focus on academic bo
 ycott and divestment – the withdrawal of investments from companies that
  are implicated in sustaining Israeli apartheid.\n\nTrade union activists\
 , artists\, and members of the public are now demanding that local council
 s\, universities\, cultural institutions\, and financial institutions like
  Barclays\, cut their ties to apartheid and divest their funds from compan
 ies that are arming and enabling Israel's genocide.\n\nDon’t miss this l
 andmark conference. Join movement leaders and campaigners as we plan the n
 ext steps for the solidarity movement.\n\nSpeakers include:\n\nOmar Bargho
 uti\, co-founder of the BDS movement\nGhassan Abu-Sittah\, British-Palesti
 nian surgeon\nBen Jamal\, Director of Palestine Solidarity Campaign\nFranc
 esca Albanese\, UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in 
 the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967\n\n\n\n\nLocation: Centra
 l Hall Westminster\, Storey’s Gate\, SW1H 9NH.\n\nTime and Date: Saturd
 ay 10 August\, 10.15am till 4.30pm\n\n\nVenue accessibility statement. If
