Community efforts to defend activist Charlotte Kates have all emphasized that her recent arrest, and the pending “hate charges” against her, are clearly part of a larger on-going campaign to delegitimize and ban Samidoun. In fact, the leading pro-Israel lobby group Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIJA) lists this issue as one of the priorities on their website. … Read more
Almost eight months of live-streamed genocide and still no end in sight. No meaningful moves by Western powers to halt the Israeli daily atrocities, in fact each day brings new evidence of their complicity. And the Zionist military just announced it wishes to continue for another seven months! … Read more
The repression against Palestinians and their supporters has been mounting across Canada in recent months; in every major city, there are cases of fraudulent charges (often later dropped) brought against activists who dare to clearly challenge the Zionist narrative. … Read more
All out on March 15 for complete divestment! No Genocide Profiteering! Shame on Scotiabank!
We are proud to be part of the global campaign to #ShutElbitDown and hold Israel’s arms industry and its investors accountable for their complicity in war crimes. MARCH 15: SHUT DOWN GENOCIDE PROFITEERING! Shut Down Scotiabank
Let’s keep up the pressure, our grassroots campaign is working. ScotiaBank reduced its Elbit Systems investment in the last quarter, but still stands as the largest foreign investor in this Israeli arms company, profiting off the killing and maiming of Palestinians.… Read more
The connections between indigenous people in Turtle Island and the indigenous people of Palestine run deep. Here on unceded territory in “Vancouver”, the unflinching solidarity from indigenous brothers and sisters has been essential in maintaining support for the five-month (and counting) battle against Israeli genocide and settler colonialism.
In January of this year, a Liberation Conference was held that focused on and strengthened these bonds.… Read more

Anti-Palestinian repression in Canada has intensified in recent months, and we face the specter of not just politicians, but also municipal police forces, publicly flaunting their racism. Most major cities have recorded ramped up police harassment of pro-Palestine events, from Vancouver to Ottawa, Calgary, Toronto and beyond.

From boycott campaigns (Scotiabank, Israeli wines) to Nakba75 to presentations with our indigenous brothers and sisters to weekly demos/rallies/marches/ since Oct. 7: all these actions were done to keep the voice and struggle of the Palestinians alive.… Read more
