Towards Apartheid Free Zones
On the 21st of March, the day of Spring and the International Day against racism a.pass joined the TOWARDS APARTHEID FREE ZONES – Cultural Solidarity with Palestine campaign. By doing this we want to express, as an organisation, once more our solidarity with Palestine. We say NO to any form of discrimination, racism, violence and violation of human rights and international law. We say NO to anti-semitism, we say NO to islamophobia. And we say NO to any form of terrorism, including organised state terror like apartheid.
Together with many other organisations in the cultural field from both sides of the language border, we have decided to start our trajectory TOWARDS APARTHEID FREE ZONES. This means that we will do everything we can as an organisation to avoid any complicity with apartheid states and regimes, by choosing not to collaborate with these states, and choosing for companies and service providers that do not invest in these states and regimes, starting with a boycott of Israël. Becoming an Apartheid Free Zone is a step further in our decolonising process and a step further in defending the freedom of speech, defending the universal declaration of human rights and in connecting people without dehumanising any of them. We invite you to take this step together and walk TOWARDS APARTHEID FREE ZONES with us. We have put a sticker on our windows and doors; we have posted this message on our pages, in order to make our joint action visible. We stand in solidarity with Palestine and we say: enough! Ceasefire now!
