<div><span><strong>Film: Pressure Points: Israel, Berkeley and
the Divestment Resolution</strong></span></div>
<div><span><strong>Wednesday March 9, 2016<br>
7pm<br>
Room RCC204, Rogers Communications Centre - </strong></span></div>
<div><span><strong>R<span>yerson University, 80 Gould St Toronto</span></strong></span></div>
<div><span></span> </div>
<div><span>In 2010 students at the University of California
Berkeley put forward a resolution advocating divestment from
companies militarily supporting Israel’s occupation of
Palestinian territories and the blockade of Gaza. PRESSURE
POINTS includes footage from the UCB’s Student Senate
proceedings and explores the historic significance of the
campaign within the context of U.S. social justice
movements. The public debates on the resolution and the
senate votes marked a significant advance in the acceptance
of boycott, divestment and sanctions as effective tools for
ending the occupation and blockade.<br>
<span><br>
This event is part of Israeli Apartheid Week (IAW) 2016.
It is co-presented by Coalition Against Israeli Apartheid
(CAIA), Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP Ryerson),
The Continuing Education Students' Association of Ryerson
(CESAR), Faculty for Palestine (F4P). Please email <a

<div><strong>About IAW 2016:</strong><br>
First launched in Toronto in 2005, IAW has grown to become
one of the most important global events in the Palestine
solidarity calendar. This year, IAW will take place in
more than 150 cities across the globe. The week aims to
raise awareness about Israel’s ongoing practices of
apartheid, occupation and dispossession against the
Palestinian people. Lectures, films, and creative actions
will build support for the Palestinian Boycott, Divestment
and Sanctions (BDS) Movement.<br>
<br>
Inspired by the ongoing popular resistance across historic
Palestine and the intersections being made globally
between various struggles with Palestine, we hope to make
Israeli Apartheid Week 2016 a powerful contribution to the
Palestinian struggle for freedom and justice.<br>
<br>
Israeli Apartheid Week in Toronto is organized by Students
Against Israeli Apartheid, the Coalition Against Israeli
Apartheid, the University of Toronto Graduate Students’
Union (UTGSU) BDS Committee, and the Canadian Union of
Public Employees (CUPE) Local 3902 BDS Committee.<br>
