Together with Saudi allies, CODEPINK has launched a campaign to boycott Saudi Arabia. Similar to the boycott, divestment, and sanctions (BDS) campaign to end Israel’s occupation and abuses of Palestinian rights, we are calling on businesses, entertainers, universities, PR firms and entertainers to boycott the kingdom. The reasons include Saudi's devastating war in Yemen, its imprisonment of women's rights activists, its support for extremist groups, and the general repression that exists in one of the world's last absolute monarchies.
