Yesterday, Rabble News published an article about Vote Palestine Vancouver. We also explain the background of our project and how Vancouverites can help on this podcast.
Watch statements of solidarity for Vote Palestine Vancouver:
-
Residents of Vancouver: Meera. And Ryan Jefferson Booth.
Grow the rebellion!
Vancouverites declared our city a “Nuclear Weapons-Free Zone” in 1983 and BC unions fought South African Apartheid for almost two decades. We can rise again, together, in solidarity with Palestinian human rights in our city and across the globe. We are a non-partisan grassroots movement insisting that none of us are free until we are all free.
TAKE THE CHALLENGE: Email 2-6 of your friends this upcoming week and let them know about this campaign, so that this October, BC voters of conscience unite to vote with their hearts.
