Do-It-Yourself STOP THE WALL Campaign

The International Women?s Peace Service is offering several resources on our website for activists mounting campaigns against the wall. This package of materials includes background articles, sample letters to the editor, a sample city council resolution, testimonials from Palestinians affected by the wall, maps, and pictures. If you are a teacher or professor, assign one of the articles here to your class. Modify the letter and flood your local newspapers with it. Start a campaign to get your city council or trade union to adopt the resolution provided. Use the testimonials in your poetry, theatre performances, and vigils. Keep up your boycott and divestment campaigns and expand them to include any companies that benefit from the building of the wall. Please work together, work strategically and creatively to tear down what is already completed and prevent what is not yet completed.

The PDF files will print better, but the HTML may be easier to download.

Many more resources are available on the web. Two good places to start are:

PENGON (Palestinian Environmental NGO Network) www.stopthewall.org
Gush Shalom (has a great flash presentation) www.gush-shalom.org
