1)    To co-educate and share resources amongst campus organizers on the process of initiating BDS campaigns on campuses
2)    To strategize tactics to address the needs of different campuses in carrying out BDS campaigns

Where: Brandeis University • Pearlman Lounge • Waltham

For three weeks, Maya Wind and Netta Mishly, both from Israel, have been explaining to audiences across the country why they refuse to serve in the Israeli military.  They refuse to rule over an occupied people.  They refuse to detain Palestinians without charge. They refuse to guard checkpoints, to enforce a siege, to usher in a humanitarian disaster.
