Join Online Campaign as Groups Plan SodaStream Days of Action!
Next week on November 29, the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, more than 30 cities across the globe will begin a series of actions through December 10 to demand that stores stop selling SodaStream products, which are manufactured in an illegal Israeli settlement through the exploitation of Palestinian land, labor, and resources.
Here in the U.S, the main corporate focus will be on Target.
In September member group Friends of Sabeel- North America sent a letter to the CEO of Target outlining why SodaStream should be deshelved. Next month activists in Minnesota are hoping to deliver 10,000 signatures collected by the Interfaith Boycott Coalition to Target’s headquarters in Minneapolis demanding they stop selling SodaStream. Have you signed the petition yet?
As groups prepare actions at their local Target stores across the country, we invite you to take action via Twitter and Facebook to make sure that Target is getting the message: #BoycottSodaStream!
Details about actions taking place between November 29-December 10 are available here. If your city is not listed, visit www.endtheoccupation.org/sodastream2013 for resources and tips on planning your own action!
