Apartheid Free Baltimore Pledge
Inspired by the international Boycott, Divest, and Sanction movement, Apartheid-Free Baltimore is part of a national boycott campaign launched by the Palestine Solidarity Working Group and powered by a growing number of local grassroots coalitions. Through this campaign, we’re calling on Baltimore to pledge against hosting Zionist programming and to refuse to buy or sell products from companies that directly support or profit from Israeli apartheid, occupation, and settler colonialism. It’s time to turn up the heat on this apartheid regime and take apartheid out of our stores and communities, and off our plates.
By signing this pledge as an individual, you agree to:
- Boycott products and brands listed as targets on the AFB website
- Patronize Apartheid-Free businesses in Baltimore
- Download the boycat app to help identify which products support apartheid
By signing this pledge as a business/organization, you agree to:
- Work with us to identify and remove complicit products or programming
- Review contracts with complicit companies and avoid renewing them
- Build our networks with other local businesses and suppliers
Any business can pledge, regardless of their current status on complicit brands. We understand that this is a process, and we want to build relationships across the city to help every business work towards divestment.
Businesses that have signed can choose to receive:
- A space on our map
- Promotion on our social media
- In addition, those who are fully divested will also get an “Apartheid-Free” poster to hang in their businesses
Organizations may sign the Pledge to indicate their commitment to following the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel.
