At the November 2023 Public OPIRG Brock Board Meeting, the Board of Directors passed a proposal outlining our commitments to showing solidarity with Palestine. These include the following action items and long-term commitments:

Signed onto the ad-hoc CeasefireNOW coalition.
Coordinating community marshalls and police liaisons for Palestinian Solidarity actions in Niagara.
Supporting the Queer Muslim Resistance and the Gender Affirming Assistance Project Sticker Fundraiser.
Supporting Palestine Solidarity initiatives in Niagara and using our platforms and network to promote local actions and educational resources.
Discontinuing our use of Israeli software company Wix, and investing in a more ethical website hosting alternative.
Researching the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) Movement and developing an action plan to potentially amend the OPIRG Brock Ethical Purchasing Policy.
