Announcing our new Points of Unity 2024! Please get in touch so we can start rebuilding the network and advancing cultural BDS at this critical stage in the global movement.
Punks Against Apartheid Points of Unity 2024/25 In whatever our capacity as artists and musicians, we pledge to respect the 2005 call for Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) against the state of Israel, and hereby endorse the following points of unity: 1. We, Punks Against Apartheid, exist to foment greater solidarity between the global punk community and the struggle for Palestinian liberation. 2. We honor the call for Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) in its entirety. We will not play concerts or speak at events in Israel or in any other country that are in violation of Palestinian civil society’s call for cultural boycott. 3. We will not perform, exhibit or otherwise participate in events which deceptively suggest symmetry or shared responsibility between “both sides” for Israel’s ongoing colonial oppression of the Palestinian people and its system of apartheid. 4. We seek, wherever possible, to use our art, music and expression to both educate the wider public and provide real, meaningful solidarity to the cause of Palestinian liberation. This includes (but is not limited to) uplifting the three main demands of the original BDS call, the thawabit, and further demands that may emerge from Palestinian civil and political consensus. 5. We do not prescribe what Palestinian liberation will look like. We nonetheless uphold the Palestinian peoples' inalienable right to self-determination and resistance as enshrined in international law. 6. We pledge to uphold the cultural boycott of the Israeli state until Palestinian liberation has been secured and the BDS movement is asked to stand down. tinyurl.com/paa-pou-2024

An appreciation post to all of the worker-run collectives, co-ops, and small businesses which have helped PAA in our journey. With your help–your solidarity rates and sometimes even generous donations–we have managed to raise THOUSANDS for Palestinian organisations and families in this last year!
