As the international campaign for boycott, divestment and sanctions in opposition to Israeli apartheid policies and in solidarity with Palestine grows upwards of a hundred people gathered in Montreal for a conference on the subject this past week at the Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM).
Featured at the conference was Denis Lemelin, the national president of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) which was the first national union in North America to endorse the boycott campaign. Also featured at the conference was Dan O’Meara author and professor at UQAM and former member of the African National Congress (ANC) who addressed the crowd with Lorraine Guay, an organizer with the Coalition for Justice and Peace in Palestine (CJPP).
