How to boycott
As of 1/1/2025, our boycott targets have changed to align with updates made by the global BDS Movement.
You may feel compelled to boycott all products and companies tied in any way to Israel. There are many lists circulated on social media with hundreds of brands and companies, but these tend to be overwhelming, and prevent boycotts from being effective.
How do we make sure our actions have an impact? By strategically focusing on a small number of carefully selected companies and products. We need to target companies that play a clear and direct role in Israel’s crimes and where there is real potential for winning.
How do I get started?
Every single one of us can have impact and it starts with our individual consumer habits, as well as the influence we may have on businesses around us.
