Ms. Lauryn Hill is set to perform in Israel on 7 May 2015.
The presence of artists is routinely used by Israel to legitimize its policies and maintain its reputation as a normal member of the international community. Just as during the struggle against South African apartheid artists were expected not to cross the picket line and perform in Sun City, artists today are asked to heed the Palestinian call and refuse to help Israel whitewash its denial of Palestinian rights.
Join USACBI and US Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation to ask Ms. Lauryn Hill to respect the Palestinian call to boycott Israel and cancel her performance!
* Read the letter to Lauryn from the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic & Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI) http://www.pacbi.org/etemplate.php?id=2697
* Add your name to the 11,000+ signatories asking Ms. Hill to respect the Palestinian call for boycott and cancel her scheduled performance http://bit.ly/1yOHf7w
* AND submit a fan letter to Ms. Lauryn Hill with a photo + a few sentences on why you think respecting Palestinian rights and heeding the call for boycott is in line with all the powerful words Ms. Hill sings for justice.
Post to social media with the hashtag #BoycottFanLetter or send them to sasha@usacbi.org or membership@endtheoccupation.org and they will be added to this tumblr!
