"BDS Motion Outcome" over a faded image of the Palestinian flag

At the TaPRA Annual General Meeting on 9 May 2025, the membership passed a motion proposed by a collective of members on 11 April 2025: that TaPRA act on calls by our Palestinian colleagues to participate in the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement.

Our AGM is tomorrow. Get in touch if you are a current member and haven't had the registration info.
