The BIG Boycott Phone in: Friday July 9th 2010.
On July 9th – join the BIG boycott phone in: Use your voice – complain; ask questions.
Phone Morrisons; 0845 611 6111 (Lines open 730 a.m. – 6.30 p.m).
Ask why and demand answers:
- Why is your supermarket sourcing produce from a country that repeatedly violates international law?
- Why is your supermarket sourcing produce from companies that operate on land where Palestinians cannot live or work? (the Jordan Valley)
- Why are you sourcing produce from companies that operate in illegal settlements and which benefit from an Apartheid system inside Israel?
- Why are you sourcing produce from companies which are all benefiting from the illegal theft of Palestinian water and the theft of Palestinian land?
The BIG Boycott Write in: July 9th 2010
Write to Morrisons Head Office or to your local store manager.
To e mail: http://www.morrisons.co.uk/Store-finder/About-customer-services/Contact-Us1/
Or write to: Morrisons head Office: Hilmore House, Gain lane, Bradford, BD3 7DL.
Challenge them on the fact that they are trading with Israeli companies. Call for an end to business with Israeli companies which are profiting from Israeli occupation and Israel’s apartheid policies. The Israeli export companies known to be supplying British supermarkets, including Carmel Agrexco, Arava and Mehadrin Tnuport Export (MTEX) are all profiting from Israel’s violations of international law.
The BIG Boycott Badge Pledge: July 9th 2010
Make a pledge to wear your Boycott Israeli Goods badge, or any Boycott Israel badge.
Wear your Boycott Israeli Goods badge and keep on wearing it! Israel has been in the news so much that people are noticing badges and now is the time to tell people about the boycott, in whatever way we can. Wear badges; give out badges on the street; call on all your supporters to wear badges.
