The CAIA Active Committee has reviewed the responses and effect of our billboard on Pat Bay Highway. We have received over 90 emails supporting the billboard and 2 persons criticising.

With the billboard added by some anonymous person or country in front of ours, we now have a noticeable lead in attracting more attention to our billboard. This has generated even more donations. We now only need $90 more in funds to cover additional time.

We thank all of you who have contributed to funding our ad campaign.

If you wish to donate now, please send funds to 'Coalition Against Israeli Apartheid' in care of

Did you hear about Sheldon Adelson’s “secret summit” last week?

Last week, Adelson and other far-right billionaires gathered at a casino in Vegas to fundraise to try and stop the growing movement for Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS). Why? Because we’re racking up grassroots victories, and our opponents are running scared.

On June 15 – 20, join us for a week of education and action to end poverty-related deaths in BC.

Between 2006 and 2013, at least 281 people died on the streets in British Columbia. Due to under-reporting, that number is likely much much higher. Victoria has the highest number of street deaths per capita in BC. In a four month period, 30 people died on the streets of this city.

These deaths are preventable. Not only are there tangible causes, but viable solutions. We need adequate health services, social housing, and harm reduction services. We need all levels of government to commit to eliminating poverty and preventing street deaths. See below for event info - see you there!
