Transforming Repression into Resistance

INITIAL DEADLINE: 30 November in order to confirm translation and accommodation needs.

As organizers and activists are facing ever more extreme levels of crackdown and criminalization, the necessity of strategic and urgent escalation is more vital than ever before.

This Summit will bring together lawyers, legal workers, activists and organizers from across Europe, Britain, and the US, with the aim sharing international experiences, knowledge and strategies for turning repression into resistance.

The inaugural meeting will serve as a formal launch of the anti-Zionist, anti-repression coalition across EU and Britain, with the following aims:

• Convene movement lawyers, organizations and activists to share and develop offensive strategies and tools to challenge Zionist repression and advance political goals
• Recruit and consolidate a network of anti-Zionist lawyers working within a principled political frame
• Provide movement education, centralized resources and tools to encourage more effective collective responses to repression
• Develop a shared framework for exposing and isolating Zionist organizations and the role of Zionism in rising authoritarianism
• Identify existing infrastructure and build as needed
