Waterloo Israeli Apartheid Week

[IAW 2012 materials coming soon. For 2011, see below.]

For the third year now Students for Palestinian Rights has joined with the international Palestinian Solidarity Movement in participating in Israeli Apartheid Week. We have faced many challeneges this year, but we have been able to put together a slate of inspiring and educational events about the situation in Palestine. If you live in the Tri-City area (Kitchener-Waterloo & Cambrige) please come on out and join us for a week of social justice and struggle.
