No Appetite for Apartheid Campaign for Palestine (Santa Clara)
2025-08-08 12:30 - 14:30 | Muslim Community Association Mosque, 3003 Scott Blvd, Santa Clara, CA, 95054, United States
Come join the International Solidarity Working Group and participate in outreach as part of the No Appetite for Apartheid campaign that we are running locally in Santa Clara! This event will be handing out flyers at the MCA Mosque in Santa Clara during Jummah prayer.
No Appetite for Apartheid is a national campaign that follows the principles of the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement to reduce US support for Israeli apartheid and genocide against Palestinians. The campaign urges local small businesses to stop carrying Israeli food products and educates community members about supporting Palestine by boycotting Israeli products, a time-tested consumer tactic used against states perpetrating injustice.
If you’re interested in attending this event, join our Google Group here to get in contact with the organizers!
