PalKveld: Apartheid-free zones

Welcome to the first Palkveld of the year!
Time: Thursday, January 30th at 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM
Place: Melahuset Upstairs

Join and contribute to the important BDS work in a fun and social way! This evening we are giving the Apartheid-Free Zones (AFS) campaign a real boost. Get an introduction to the campaign, how to participate, and join in planning the work ahead together with Palkom's AFS group.

Can we make all of Oslo an apartheid-free zone?
What are apartheid-free zones?

The campaign for apartheid-free zones is part of the call for boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) that came from over 170 Palestinian civil society organizations in 2005.

An apartheid-free zone declares itself free from Israeli goods and services until Israel complies with international law and ends its occupation and apartheid regime. An apartheid-free zone can be anything from a café, restaurant, shop, to small and large businesses, sole proprietorships, organizations or trade unions. Norway is one of the countries where the campaign has been most active. There are currently over 250 apartheid-free zones in Norway, but as the commitment in Norway is now growing in line with the atrocities being committed against the Palestinians, the potential is great for more to become a reality.
We already have a working group underway, so join us!
