PSC update: take BDS action

In Latest news
Sainsburys
There are now a number of protests around the country for the Sainsbury’s Day of Action (check this page regularly for events near you).
We are calling for Sainsbury’s to stop using suppliers, like EDOM and Mehadrin, that profit from Israel’s illegal occupation.
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.
Sainsbury’s have responded to PSC members and supporters by saying they don’t use settlement goods in their inhouse brand products, but have completely failed to address the fact that they are using companies that profit from Israeli occupation and Palestinian dispossession.
Please email Sainsbury’s today to tell them to act ethically.
Please get involved in your local area (if you need more information contact [email protected])
Palestinian children’s rights violated
– please take action!

The Guardian published a letter from Action 4 Palestinian Children about the Foreign Office funded 2012 delegation and report, Children in Military Custody.
This independent delegation of lawyers found that Israel is in breach of six articles of the UN convention on the rights of the child, as well as the fourth Geneva convention.
PSC are working with Action 4 Palestinian Children to get as many MPs as possible to sign the pledge to protect Palestinian children, ahead of the delegation’s return to the region.
Please ask your MP to sign the pledge , and you can check if they have already signed
Please send a letter to your MP today asking them to pledge their support for Palestinian children.
BDS is working – help PSC build the pressure!
Please support Palestine Solidarity Campaign by helping fund our BDS work.
The boycott campaign is having a serious impact. Mainstream media worldwide is buzzing with stories on how we are mobilising to defend Palestinian rights and end Israeli occupation, racism and apartheid. It is incredible that we have come so far in just a few years.Read more>

But we need to step up that pressure. And to do that, PSC needs your help.
