We are a community of organizations and individuals with a commitment to the Palestinian led Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement. Many of us have been involved in BDS advocacy for decades. Our most active members do their organizing work on campaign, communications and outreach teams.
We invite people to join our MN BDS Network which includes both an ongoing email exchange of articles, upcoming events and discussion topics and a virtual monthly meeting where you can hear updates on our campaign work and connect with other BDS activists around the state.
