02 / Community power

BDS campaign priorities ↗

A small group.
A clear demand.
Shared power.

Divestment becomes practical when people organize around the institutions they can influence.

Build your local plan →
  1. 01

    Gather your circle.

    Start with neighbors, workers, growers and existing solidarity groups. Build from the work already happening.

  2. 02

    Find the connection.

    Choose a local institution. Read its investments and contracts. Identify who makes the decision.

  3. 03

    Make a specific demand.

    Work with Palestinian-led BDS priorities. Give your campaign a clear ask, a decision-maker and a timeline.

  4. 04

    Stay organized.

    Share roles, publish progress and meet again. Connect the campaign to lasting community capacity.

03 / The original proposal

Independent policy proposal

Make repair
an obligation.

A mandatory levy on AI companies and data centers. Community control over what it funds.

Invest in permaculture, agricultural research, verified carbon removal and lasting paid work. Measure ecological outcomes and employment quality alongside carbon.

Explore the regeneration proposal ↗

What the fund would support

  • 01Permaculture & living soils
  • 02Public agricultural research
  • 03Carbon removal & restoration
  • 04Paid ecological care

Pay for care.
Share control.

Divestment changes financial holdings.
A levy raises revenue for repair.

This proposed fund is not an existing program or an official BDS policy. A carbon-negative result requires verified removals to exceed emissions within a defined scope and period.
