Members of the BC Teachers Federation (BCTF) protested in Vancouver on Wednesday, calling for a “fossil-free and weapons-free portfolio.”

No Olympics As Usual. Join the campaign to #BanIsrael

More than 300 Palestinian sports teams are calling to ban Israel from the Olympics over its genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.

 

As sports journalist Dave Zirin said, “the International Olympic Committee (IOC) will not act unless we make it.”

So let’s make it.

Join the global campaign to peacefully disrupt the road to Paris 2024 calling on the IOC to #BanIsrael until it ends its crimes against Palestinians and recognizes our UN-stipulated rights.

In An Open Letter, Christophe Peschoux, Recently Retired From The U.N. Human Rights Office, Calls On His Former Boss To Help The WikiLeaks Publisher.

Assange’s legal appeal will be heard in London later this month.

Mr. High Commissioner,

On 20-21 February, a High Court in London will decide Julian Assange’s fate: freedom or death. Two judges will decide whether the WikiLeaks founder will still be able to lodge an ultimate appeal, or will end his days in an American jail.
