Organizations Directory, Wiki Now Live!
The world of Palestine solidarity activism just got a little bit smaller... in a good way! We've launched two great new features that activists have been clamoring for: a searchable directory of Palestine solidarity organizations around the world (about 2000 and counting!) and Wikipedia-like tool for collaboratively developing activist skills documentation—the next step in the evolution of our acclaimed handbooks!
Anyone can search the directory, submit additions or changes to the listings, or view the wiki. However, to edit wiki content, you'll need to register for a free account.
To make the directory even more powerful, we've constructed a database of companies being targeted in BDS campaigns by activist groups. This is an extension of the excellent database at WhoProfits.org, intended primarily to aid in finding organizations based on which companies they are targeting. It is intended to be used in conjunction with the WhoProfits database, which contains much more information and supports advanced searches. Each company page, such as this one for Caterpillar, will tell you which organizations are targeting it in a campaign. Corresponding links will soon be available on the organization pages as well.
