Action Toolkit for BDS @ University of Oregon
Empowering YOU to join the campus organizing movement for justice in Palestine!
WCGP’s BDS Action Toolkit is designed to help graduates (as well as undergrads and faculty) organize for BDS at the University of Oregon in support of a free Palestine!
Our toolkit is hosted at an easy-to-share link and will be continuously updated: tinyurl.com/BDS-toolkit-UO
Level 1 Actions are relatively easy actions (and resources) you can take to Raise the Visibility of Palestine on a day-to-day basis (both virtually and IRL). Includes things like BDS email templates for UO leaders, BDS flyers, BDS profile pictures, auto-fill widgets for contacting elected officials, and relevant petitions.
Level 2 Actions are actions (and resources) you can use to help raise our collective Political Education on Palestine and BDS at UO. These resources are designed for different purposes: educating yourself on Palestine/BDS, teaching or talking with students, and approaching faculty members. Includes things like Palestine slides and a discussion guide, organizing conversation guides, Know Your Rights for workers/students/activists, info on UO’s Academic Freedom policies, and resources for faculty divestment from BDS targets (including UO retirement & divestment guides).
Level 3 Actions are actions (and resources) to help you engage in Direct Action to Support Palestine & BDS Demands. Includes things like meeting info for SJP/WCGP/JVP, ideas for coordinating department-level actions, protest safety basics, “best practices” for direct action planning, and links to other Palestine direct action toolkits.
As is the case with all collective actions, these tactics are most effective when done with others, so ask others to participate with you!
