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>

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). </font></span></div>

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>
