Boycott, Divestment And Sanctions Movement

Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions is a pro-Palestine movement to force Israel to comply with the movement’s interpretation of international law. In 2011, students at Penn founded PennBDS — a group that supports the movement on campus. Activists from around the country will attend the two-day BDS conference at Penn in February to listen to keynote speakers and participate in panel discussions and question-and-answer sessions. The conference is hosted by PennBDS.
