The Palestinan BDS National Committee has today published an interactive timeline charting the success and growth of the movement for boycotts, divestment and sanctions (BDS) movement. 

Published to mark the eighth anniversary of the Palestinian civil society call for boycotts, divestment and sanctions (BDS) against Israel, the timeline includes more than 200 entries that each highlight a particular success or landmark of the movement. 

You can view the timeline as a page on the BDSmovement.net website here and in full screen here

In June 2010 Students at The Evergreen State College voted to pass two divestment initiatives with overwhelming majority. 1) to divest from companies that profit off of the occupation in Palestine and 2) to ban the use of Caterpillar equipment on campus. Students are working to get these initiatives to take effect.
