Project Background

“We must use our collective economic strength to rally against the profiteering and politics that has enabled this brutal occupation” - DisOccupied

“Support those who support us. In addition to boycotting, actively consume from companies who do the right thing.” -Khaled Beydoun

We asked Portlanders to share the Instagram handles of PDX-based Small Businesses who support an Immediate and Permanent Ceasefire and a Free Palestine. In less than a week, we documented nearly 200 small businesses (and a handful of nonprofits). 

We then created a google form to reach more businesses (including freelancers, gig workers + independent contractors) and to get folks to commit to divestment from Israeli apartheid as part of their business practices. We took this info and created a website and listserv to use as a Resource Hub for sharing educational tools, divestment resources, political engagement information and fundraisers.

Path Forward

In line with DisOccupied, our vision is to “extend this action to companies ignoring basic human rights anywhere in the world. We're starting with Palestine, but we see you.”
