Palestine Solidarity Movement

"I've been very distressed in my visit to the Holy Land; it reminded me so much of what happened to us blacks in South Africa. I have seen the humiliation of the Palestinians at checkpoints and roadblocks, suffering like us when young white police officers prevented us from moving about...The current divestment effort is the first, though certainly not the only, necessary move in that direction."
-Archbishop Desmond Tutu

Divestment Guide (.pdf)
This guide is a multi-dimensional resource for those constructing and engaged in divestment campaigns. Firstly, it is meant to provide a practical scaffold for groups at various stages of their divestment campaign. Secondly, it is meant to serve as a mechanism for sustaining momentum through continued connection, communication and coordination amongst divestment-active groups on an international level. Thirdly, the guide offers a modest contribution to the conceptualizing of divestment as a strategy, and understanding its goals, potential, and applicability in the case of Israel and its current practices against Palestinians.
