This is solidarity! ✊🏾

Queer and trans artists turned down work with @PUMA for its #pride campaign in solidarity with the Palestinian call to #BoycottPuma over its complicity in Israeli apartheid. They say no to PUMA's #pinkwashing!

Read their statement: loom.ly/Kx6Ctg8
"In solidarity with movements for Palestinian liberation and the global #BDS movement’s #BoycottPuma campaign, we reject @PUMA's offer. We refuse to allow a company that is complicit in Israeli apartheid to use our queer and trans bodies to pinkwash its global brand image."
"Stand in radical solidarity and love with our Palestinian queer and trans siblings, and integrate the analysis of the #BDS campaign into how you choose who to collaborate with during #Pride season and all year long."
And join the Global #BoycottPUMA Day of Action, Sat, Sept 10.

We warmly welcome the withdrawal of the many international writers and public figures from the Beyond the Lone Offender conference in Hamburg -- which has been almost entirely cancelled as a result of its organisers' complicity in Germany's shameful anti-Palestinian racism.
The conference organisers, the @goetheinstitut, had disinvited renowned Palestinian poet and journalist @m7mdkurd, leading to an inspiring display of solidarity from renowned literary and public figures, including Ijeoma Oluo, @mohammedhanif and others.
The boycott of the @goetheinstitut's conference is the latest in a series of victories against the German establishment's anti-democratic repression, McCarthyism, and unabashed anti-Palestinian racism and dehumanisation that remind us of Germany's dark history.

We salute the graduate & undergraduate students at Georgetown University who successfully prevented $30,000 in student funding from being used for an itrek propaganda trip to apartheid Israel.

Israel has bombed and demolished Palestinian schools and universities, carried out military raids on campuses, prevented travel to campus and abroad for scholarships, and restricts entry for int'l faculty members and students wishing to teach or study at Palestinian universities.
The Georgetown students join 350+ academic departments, programs & societies, and 20,000+ scholars and students worldwide standing up for Palestinian rights and urging accountability for apartheid Israel.

Many major human rights orgs now recognize Israel as an apartheid state.

A reminder of who's behind the letter opposing queer filmmakers who support the call from Palestinian queers not to participate in Israeli gov-sponsored TLVFest and to reject Israel's pinkwashing of its apartheid regime.

jewishvoiceforpeace.org/2018/10/ccpfis…
"Creative Community for Peace" may talk of "building bridges," but a leaked, confidential report shows it considers intersectionality and solidarity between Palestinians and Black Americans "a troubling and growing trend" that it needs to counter.

Now CCFP is opposing queer filmmakers standing in solidarity with Palestinians queers.

In an act of effective solidarity, 50 filmmakers have withdrawn from TLVFest, the Israeli gov-sponsored LGBT film fest, and nearly 200 have pledged not to participate.
