How to Find Current BDS Campaigns and Action Alerts on bdsmovement.net
Updated
The fastest way to find current BDS campaigns and action alerts is to start on the bdsmovement.net homepage and scan the LATEST UPDATES section, where the site lists its most recent action alerts, statements, and campaigns in reverse-chronological order. Each entry carries a label (for example, "Action Alert," "Statement," or "Briefing"), a topic tag (for example, "Global campaigns" or "Trade union solidarity"), and a date, so you can tell at a glance whether an item is a call to act or a background document.
Where the current actions appear
The homepage's LATEST UPDATES feed is the primary entry point. Recent examples visible on the site include:
| Item | Type | Topic tag | Date shown |
|---|---|---|---|
| No Room for Genocide Campaign Day of Action – 27th September | Action Alert | Global campaigns | 22-09-2026 |
| Stop FANUC's Complicity in Genocide: A Global Call to Action | Action Alert | Stop FANUC / Military Embargo | 16-09-2026 |
| Israeli Fascist Pogroms Against Palestinians Flare Up in the Illegally Occupied West Bank | Action Alert | — | 28-07-2026 |
| Palestinian Unions: Global Call for Worker Action Against Genocide this November | Statement | Trade union solidarity | 11-09-2026 |
| Policy Brief – State Duties regarding Immigration and Visa Waiver policies | Briefing | Sanctions and governments | 12-08-2025 |
This mix matters: not everything in the feed is an action alert. Statements and briefings explain positions or provide legal and policy context, while action alerts are the items that ask you to do something on a specific date.
How to read an action alert
An action alert on this site typically gives you four things:
- A date or window – for example, the No Room for Genocide day of action on 27th September, or the Stop FANUC Now days of action running 28 September – 4 October.
- A target – the institution, government, or company being pressured (FANUC, in the Stop FANUC campaign; governments' immigration and visa policies, in the No Room for Genocide campaign).
- A framing of why – the alert text connects the target to a specific demand, such as ending complicity in genocide or aligning visa policy with international legal standards.
- A way to join – the site describes the campaign and calls on civil society groups and supporters to participate, usually by directing readers into the campaign page or toolkit.
The No Room for Genocide campaign, for instance, was launched with an organizing toolkit, and the site notes it timed a day of action to 27th September because UN Tourism observes that date as World Tourism Day.
Browsing by theme instead of by date
If you already know what kind of action you want, the topic tags under each update let you filter by area rather than scrolling the whole feed. Tags seen on the site include:
- Global campaigns – broad international actions like No Room for Genocide.
- Stop FANUC / Military Embargo – campaign-specific tags tied to a single corporate or arms-related target.
- Trade union solidarity – labor-focused calls, such as the Palestinian unions' global call for worker action from Friday 20th November up to the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People on 29th November 2026.
- Sanctions and governments – policy and government-facing material, including the immigration and visa waiver policy brief.
Practical steps
- Open bdsmovement.net and look at the LATEST UPDATES block on the homepage.
- Note the label on each item: pick "Action Alert" if you want something to do now, or "Statement"/"Briefing" if you want context first.
- Check the date and any date range in the item — some actions are single days, others run across a week or a month.
- Read the alert to identify the target and the specific demand before deciding whether to take part.
- If you want a recurring theme rather than a one-off, follow the topic tag (Global campaigns, Trade union solidarity, and so on) to see related items.
One caveat: the dates shown on the homepage are the site's own publication and event dates, and the feed mixes upcoming actions with older ones. Always confirm the date inside the alert itself rather than assuming the newest item is the next event.
