From the website:
November 2024
1) Why?
Because Coca-Cola is implicated in Israeli war crimes.
According to research by WhoProfits, the Central Beverage Company, known as Coca-Cola Israel, which is the exclusive franchisee of the Coca-Cola Company in Israel, “operates a regional distribution center and cooling houses in the [Israeli] Atarot Settlement Industrial Zone.” Furthermore, its subsidiary, Tabor Winery, “produces wines from grapes sourced from vineyards located on occupied land in settlements in the West Bank and Syrian Golan.”
The International Court of Justice affirmed in July 2024 that Israel’s entire occupation of Gaza and the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, is illegal, as are all Israeli settlements built on occupied land. As Israeli settlements – on occupied Palestinian and Syrian land – are considered war crimes under international law, Coke is complicit in a war crime.
Corporations that are implicated in the commission of international crimes connected to Israel’s unlawful occupation, racial segregation and apartheid regime - within or beyond the Palestinian territories occupied in 1967 - are all complicit and must be held accountable. Direct complicity includes military, logistical, intelligence, financial and infrastructure support. The corporations, as well as their boards of directors and executives, may face criminal liability for this complicity.
Local alternatives are popping up worldwide to substitute Coca-Cola, an unnecessary and replaceable beverage
Local alternatives to Coca-Cola have been gaining market share across the world, including in Palestine, China, Bangladesh, Sweden, Egypt, India, South Africa, Turkey, Lebanon and elsewhere.
2) Why NOW?
The BDS movement has always considered Coca-Cola boycottable but has not prioritized it as a target based on its careful and strategic target-selection criteria, so why endorse the Coke boycott now?
Human rights and health activists, among many others, have been campaigning against Coca-Cola and similarly complicit corporations for decades, including grassroots drives targeting the company for its complicity in Israel’s gross violations of Palestinian human rights.
During Israel’s ongoing, livestreamed genocide, Israeli soldiers have often been pictured with Coke cans, donated to them by various genocide-enabling groups. This has provoked even more anger against the company, particularly given that Israel is starving 2.3 million Palestinians in the occupied and besieged Gaza Strip, severely limiting their access to clean water and, as a result, inducing the mass spread of contagious diseases.
Given this context, Palestinian activists in Gaza and many BDS activists in the Arab world, in many Muslim-majority countries, and in some European countries as well, have called on the BDS movement to add Coke to its priority targets.
The BDS movement had previously targeted General Mills for its manufacturing of Pillsbury products in the illegal Atarot Settlement Industrial Zone - the same Zone where the Coke facility operates. Thanks to effective BDS campaigning, we won the demand for General Mills to end its business in Atarot. We know a campaign against Coke is winnable too.
Based on all the above, and given Coke’s large contribution (through business-as-usual and taxes) to Israel’s war chest during the genocide, the Palestinian BDS National Committee (BNC), the largest Palestinian coalition leading the global BDS movement, has endorsed the grassroots, organic #BoycottCoke campaigns to pressure the company to end its complicity in Israel’s illegal occupation, apartheid and genocide.

happy international women's day to all my trans sisters! sparkle on!
parents told me last night after seeing my maga sister at church that they are giving me til next sunday to leave. the waitlists for shelters here are very long. i live outside of the city anyways in a rural area & would have to walk for hours to get to one without an uber/lyft etc. unless one of my few acquaintances from high school who might still live in the city can take me in for the rest of the month i probably will be sleeping in a tent outside in the cold with packs of noisy coyotes about. i have a place to go in january, i just need money to eat while i’m here & get my stuff there so i don’t have to abandon my things for my parents to sell.

Still just in shock and awe that in two months Kevin (the volunteer who manages our bulk business eSim account) was able to rack up a 40,000$+ debt for eSim management, but then I remember that I myself am currently having to spend an average of $150 of my own money a day to keep my own eSims topped up.
Anyways, help us with a donation please I've been dipping into my paltry savings like hot damn
I'm getting increasingly frustrated at the fact that I have not seen anybody on here. talk about the state of transgender rights in the state of Iowa. Our governor, Kim Reynolds, has signed a law that removes transgender and non-binary people's civil rights that protect them from being discriminated against when it comes to housing, education, and employment.
Iowa has become the first state to approve this legislation that prevents transgender and non-binary people from being protected under the state's civil rights code. This law, effective July 1st, is all under the guise of protecting people assigned female at birth; keeping transgender people out of bathrooms and locker rooms.
It's aim? To create explicit legal definitions of what it means to be male and female solely based on reproductive organs, which in turn denies that an individual can transition to another gender.
Where is everybody's outrage? Where is the support for trans and non-binary people's lives and rights in a Red state? Where is your fucking compassion for us? I've had it with people living comfortably and cozy in their own worlds, not seeing outside their fucking bubbles and not supporting the rest of their community as our rights crumble right before our eyes.
cakelings have a hard time handling any sort of spicy food...
Hamas has released American POW Edan Alexander, but Israel, of course, has refused to commit to a ceasefire.
Alexander is safe—but in the meantime, Ghada’s family of 14 is still living under the bombs, the drones, the missiles. They are starving. THEY SURVIVE OFF OF OUR DONATIONS AND SUPPORT.
The situation is as dire as it has ever been. But there is hope. Please continue to support and share Ghada’s campaign to keep them alive.
If you care about Gaza, or Ghada, or hell, if you care about me—please donate, please share. Do everything you can.
