5 ways to take action against Eni & Dana Petroleum to support Palestinian liberation:

💰 Pressure shareholders & institutions to divest

📚 Mobilise on campus & disrupt events
This is an activist toolkit designed to provide grassroots movements with the narrative framing, detailed research, and tactical inspiration for targeting energy corporations fuelling and financing the ongoing settler occupation and genocide in Palestine. It focuses on two companies, Dana Petroleum and Eni SpA (Eni). In October 2023, these corporations were awarded gas exploration licences from Israel, despite being in Palestinian maritime waters, recognised under international law. This potential legal violation provides strategic leverage for movements to apply pressure on these corporations, and mobilise transnationally for an energy embargo to end the ongoing genocide and for the liberation of Palestine.

Today marks the 77th commemoration of the ongoing Nakba, and 587 days of the ongoing genocide in Gaza.
It is not only a day to remember, but a call to action to reaffirm our commitment to the Palestinian struggle for decolonisation, justice and freedom.
For over 76 years, Palestinian resistance to Israeli settler-colonialism has inspired generations of activists around the world in their anti-colonial, anti-racist and anti-capitalist struggles.As Israel’s genocidal war has entered its second year, we have collectively witnessed the extent to which Western powers are willing to back Zionist colonialism, in furtherance of their own imperialist interests.At this critical juncture, we have invited several scholars and activists to reflect on the Palestinian liberation struggle and its reverberations around the world from Africa to Asia to Latin America. Their contributions reaffirm that the Palestinian struggle is rooted in a long history and tradition of anti-colonial struggle and highlight the importance of strengthening solidarity towards a liberated Palestine. No one is free until Palestine is free!
