For over fifty years, Palestinians have lived under a military occupation that strips them of their basic rights. They've been shot at, humiliated, displaced and had their human rights violated every single day.

Meanwhile, Israeli settlers have built vast gated communities on Palestinian land, and diverted water and other resources, all partly paid for by businesses run from occupied land.

And until now, the rest of the world has looked on. Enough.

Across Europe, a movement is stirring, made up of citizens, trade unions, and human rights groups coming together to demand that the European Union bans trade from companies profiting from the occupation of Palestine. And if enough of us join, the EU could be forced to act!

Under European law, if a million people sign a special petition called a Citizens Initiative, we could end the trade that bankrolls the occupation. Click to add your support -- and let's stand up for Palestine together!

PS: If you are a European Citizen, you have the opportunity to sign the official European Citizens’ Initiative in the next step. For your official signature to be counted, you will be using the official form to add your voice. Please click “sign” to start the process, and note this will differ a little from petitions on the Avaaz platform.
