BRISMES Campaigns and Future Advocacy Work

In October 2024, BRISMES Council began discussions on winding down BRISMES Campaigns due to ongoing administrative burdens and a changing political context. Members voted at a December AGM to dissolve BRISMES Campaigns and transition its work to BRISMES the Charity. The decision was ratified by Council in March 2025, and the formal process of closing BRISMES Campaigns is almost complete. We thank the former BRISMES Campaigns directors for all their hard work. 

At its June 2025 meeting, Council agreed to pursue a hybrid approach, in which BRISMES the charity will continue activities in support of Palestinian rights, Palestinian higher education and academic freedom in solidarity with Palestine, where these align with BRISMES’ charitable objectives, whilst also coordinating with a newly-created, informal, member-led network, which would have greater freedom to advocate for boycott, divestment and sanctions, in line with the 2019 AGM motion. If you are interested in joining the member-led network, please contact the BRISMES Manager at office@brismes.org.
