Sainsbury’s National Day of Action – Saturday 1st March 2014
Called by Palestine Solidarity Campaign
Sainsbury’s: stop supporting settlement trade
Sainsbury’s uses suppliers that trade in products from illegal Israeli settlements. Israeli settlements are built on stolen Palestinian land and are illegal under international law.
Join the National Day of Action on the 1st March. There will be actions around the country and why not organise your own local action! Contact us to order campaign cards and other resources (fliers/stickers/factsheets and more..) for your actions: [email protected]

And in the meantime please contact Sainsbury’s and ask them to stop dealing with settlement goods (details below).
In April 2013, The Co-operative stated that in line with its ethical policy it would ‘no longer engage with any supplier of produce known to be sourcing from the Israeli settlements’.
Please ask Sainsbury’s to follow the Co-operative’s good example and to stop
trading with suppliers which profit from Israeli settlements. Call on the Sainsbury’s CEO to stop stocking goods from companies that do business with Israeli settlements: https://palestinecampaign.org/sainsburys/
