SUMMARY:Divest for Justice Student Conference
DESCRIPTION:\n\nPalestine Solidarity Campaign and People &amp\; Planet are 
 teaming up for the first divest for justice student conference!\n\nBecome 
 a student member of PSC and attend the conference for free\n\n[expand titl
 e="Register"] [gravityform id="39" title="true" description="true"] [/expa
 nd]\n\nJoin us for an opportunity to gain key tools and techniques to buil
 d powerful divestment campaigns to end your university’s investments in 
 wrecking the climate\, Israeli apartheid and the arms industry.\n\nIsrael
 ’s system of unjust power continues to intensify\, and life for Palestin
 ians under occupation is reaching breaking point. Israel’s nation state 
 law officially embeds into the constitution its system of laws and policie
 s that discriminate against  Palestinian citizens of Israel\, illegal set
 tlement expansion continues to swallow up Palestinian land in the West Ban
 k and East Jerusalem\, and Palestinians in Gaza remain under a crippling s
 iege. Since March Israel has responded with live fire to protesters in Gaz
 a demonstrating against the siege and asserting their right to return to t
 he lands from which they were expelled in 1948 and 1967\, killing over 250
  and maiming more than 26000. Despite all of this Israel continues to rece
 ive financial support from governments like Britain’s\, and from our own
  institutions and universities.\n\nClimate change is already having massiv
 e effects on some of the most vulnerable people on the planet. No one want
 s to flee their home because of famine or conflict caused by extreme weath
 er. Yet since 2008\, climate-related disasters displaced 22 million people
  yearly across the world. Communities on the frontline of fossil fuel extr
 action are also seeing their land and ways of living destroyed. Indigenous
  communities across the globe are resisting the expansion of extraction pr
 ojects across the world and we support their struggle.\n\nUK universities 
 continue to invest 100's of £millions to facilitate and profit from wreck
 ing the climate\, Israeli apartheid and the arms industry\, despite many h
 olding “ethical investment policies”. This event will provide an oppor
 tunity for students fighting back and striving for divestment on their cam
 pus across the UK to come together\, skill up\, meet and learn from one an
 other\, with workshops covering: creative action\, time-lining an effectiv
 e campaign\, using the media as a campaign tool and more.\n\nUniversities 
 have a public responsibility to clean up their investments. They should be
  setting the precedent for wider society to follow\, divesting for justice
  is imperative to the liberation of all people and the just world we'd lik
 e to see. Join us in our united movement for freedom\, justice and equalit
 y to create a better world that respects the rights of all.\n\nTier 1 (Sta
 ndard Ticket): £10\n\nTier 2 (PSC Members and Concessions): £5\n\nPlea
