San Jose No Appetite for Apartheid
2025-09-20 14:00 - 16:00 | CA
Come join the International Solidarity Working Group and participate in a No Appetite for Apartheid canvass in San Jose! We’ll be meeting in front of San Jose City Hall.
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. During our canvass, we’ll be visiting businesses in San Jose and asking them to drop Israeli food products as well as to put up a flyer showing the community their support for Palestinians.
If you’re interested in attending this event and want to know more details, join our Google Group here to get in contact with the organizers! Click “Ask to join group” if you have a Gmail account, or “Contact owners and managers” if you do not. You can also reach out to #wg-international-solidarity on our Slack.
