Announcing our new Points of Unity 2024! Please get in touch so we can start rebuilding the network and advancing cultural BDS at this critical stage in the global movement.
Punks Against Apartheid Points of Unity 2024/25

In whatever our capacity as artists and musicians, we pledge to respect the 2005 call for Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) against the state of Israel, and hereby endorse the following points of unity:

1. We, Punks Against Apartheid, exist to foment greater solidarity between the global punk community and the struggle for Palestinian liberation.

2. We honor the call for Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) in its entirety. We will not play concerts or speak at events in Israel or in any other country that are in violation of Palestinian civil society’s call for cultural boycott.

3. We will not perform, exhibit or otherwise participate in events which deceptively suggest symmetry or shared responsibility between “both sides” for Israel’s ongoing colonial oppression of the Palestinian people and its system of apartheid.

4. We seek, wherever possible, to use our art, music and expression to both educate the wider public and provide real, meaningful solidarity to the cause of Palestinian liberation. This includes (but is not limited to) uplifting the three main demands of the original BDS call, the thawabit, and further demands that may emerge from Palestinian civil and political consensus.

5. We do not prescribe what Palestinian liberation will look like. We nonetheless uphold the Palestinian peoples' inalienable right to self-determination and resistance as enshrined in international law.

6. We pledge to uphold the cultural boycott of the Israeli state until Palestinian liberation has been secured and the BDS movement is asked to stand down.

An appreciation post to all of the worker-run collectives, co-ops, and small businesses which have helped PAA in our journey. With your help–your solidarity rates and sometimes even generous donations–we have managed to raise THOUSANDS for Palestinian organisations and families in this last year!

Their fundraising for Palestinian causes is impressive and something we hope to learn from as we start to work together.

This week, we are boosting Salam's family fundraiser. Remember, regardless of how much has been raised previously, prices in Gaza are skyrocketing, so the more donated the better!

Last week, we were able to raise almost £600 for the Suhad family. We hope we can raise a similar amount this time around (receipts will be posted on Stories + in bimonthly financial reports)

As we showed in our recent summary report on how things have been going so far, we have already rattled Aichi, Japan, with our small campaign! As people around the world learn more about Japanese complicity in genocide, the campaign grows–as does the shame of Aichi’s silence!

Japan's Aichi prefecture, like the Japanese government itself, likes to hide behind cosy tourist pictures, global cultural conferences, & its ‘Peace Constitution’ while hiding its active collaboration with ‘Israeli’ tech companies which are linked up with the structure of occupation and genocide.

Keep an eye out for a brand new, far more efficient, far more accessible format for our duplicate posts from Instagram--a blog that will live on the PAA website which we will link to reduce longer threads & which will contain both the original text & copies of the IG images!

This is a pledge to stand with Palestine — not just in words, but in action. Liberation for Palestine is non-negotiable."
