Disappearing Palestine
Building Bridges Vancouver (BBV), in concert with Independent Jewish Voices (IJV), Boycott Israeli Apartheid Campaign (BIAC), Solidarity for Palestinian Human Rights at UBC (SPHR), Canada Palestine Support Network (CanPalNet), Canada Palestine Association (CPA) and Seriously Free Speech (SFS) have formed the Palestine Awareness Coalition in order to bring to public awareness the ongoing shrinking of Palestine from 1946 to the present day.
The first design above will soon be placed as a large wall mural at two TransLink Skytrain stations: Waterfront and Vancouver Centre. The second will be placed on the exterior of city buses over a four-week period. Similar campaigns have been launched in New York, San Francisco, Washington, DC and Portland, OR. The four-map posters are also being used in various formats by organizations in several countries to bring public awareness to the reality faced by the people of Palestine.
Such advertising campaigns, of course, cost a great deal of money. For the Vancouver project, $15,000 needs to be raised by the Coalition to pay Lamar, the transit advertising firm. Fundraising has begun in earnest. Individuals and organizations are being invited to join together in raising the necessary funds. Please join us in bringing public awareness to this ongoing and urgent issue.
