About IAW 2010

The sixth annual Israeli Apartheid Week is March 1-5, 2009, and the Peterborough Coalition for Palestinian Solidarity will be hosting numerous events throughout the week. Last year, taking place in the wake of Israel's brutal assault against the people of Gaza, and in recognition of the 60 years that have passed since Palestinians have been expelled from their homes and land, over 35 cities around the world participated in IAW.

IAW 2010 takes place following a year of incredible successes for the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement on the global level. Lectures, films, and actions will highlight some of these successes along with the many injustices that continue to make BDS so crucial in the battle to end Israeli Apartheid.

We encourage all interested community members to show their support and solidarity with campus organizers and the efforts made to provide awareness, education and participation.
