The International Solidarity Movement (ISM) is a Palestinian-led
movement of Palestinian and International activists who utilize
nonviolent direct action to support the Palestinian struggle for
freedom and an end to Israeli occupation.
ISM-Vancouver
is a local affiliate of the International Solidarity Movement. Our
mandate is to assist activists from Western Canada who want to join
the nonviolent resistance in Palestine.
- ISM-Vancouver
works closely with ISM delegates travelling to Palestine. We help
them fundraise for their trips, and we provide logistical and
media support.
-
We conduct preliminary training on non-violent resistance that
is compulsory for ISM delegates. (ISM headquarters in Palestine
provides additional required training on non-violent resistance
and other necessary precautions.)
-
ISM-Vancouver works in collaboration with various organizations
and communities to arrange speaking engagements and events for
returning delegate members.
-
ISM-Vancouver aims to provide an environment for wide public participation
in campaigns that demand a clear stand from the Canadian Government
on supporting Palestinian national and human rights.
