Dear United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers of America,

Below please find a statement signed by more than 3,000 individuals from 54 countries
around the world, and endorsed by more than 40 organizations, including the
US Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation, a coalition of several hundred organizations:

We wish to express our gratitude and congratulate you for your principled stance in
endorsing BDS in support of freedom, justice, and equality for the Palestinian people. You
know better than anyone that boycotts are valuable, time-honored, nonviolent tools that
can help achieve social and economic justice for those most vulnerable. We believe this step
fits with your proud legacy of standing on the right side of history, ahead of the curve,
often when it is still unpopular to do so. We believe that other U.S. unions will soon follow
suit. Until then, please know that you are not alone; in fact, your decision connects you with
a beautiful, growing, diverse, worldwide community utilizing BDS to support Palestinian
liberation and return as part of a broader commitment to opposing injustice and
exploitation wherever it occurs.

We stand with you proudly, and in solidarity.
