Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) is a Palestinian-led movement for freedom, justice and equality. BDS upholds the simple principle that Palestinians are entitled to the same rights as the rest of humanity.
Boycotts have a long history of being an effective tool for social and political change. From the Montgomery Bus Boycott during the Civil Rights Movement to the boycott of South African apartheid, people have used economic pressure to bring about meaningful change. By refusing to support companies and institutions that profit from Israeli Apartheid, we can send a powerful message that the international community stands in solidarity with the Palestinian people.
There are several ways individuals and businesses in Sheffield can participate in the boycott. One of the most impactful ways is to avoid purchasing products that are made in Israel or produced by Israeli companies. By choosing alternative products, we can help create economic consequences for those who support Israeli Apartheid.
