On May 18 2025 hundreds tuned in live for a status update on Canada’s arms trade with Israel, why sanctioning Israel begins with an arms embargo, and next steps in the Arms Embargo Now campaign. Since launching a year ago, the Arms Embargo Now campaign has changed the national narrative about Canada’s complicity in Israel’s genocide, and forced our leaders to take unprecedented steps to slow down our export of arms to Israel. But we have a long way to go. With a new government in Ottawa, and Israel’s siege and assault on Gaza reaching ever new levels of devastation, it is time to reconnect, reassess, and refocus on how to advance our demand and win a full two-way arms embargo. Join organizers with the Arms Embargo Now campaign to hear a status update on Canada’s arms trade with Israel, learn why an arms embargo is a key way for our government to sanction Israel, and plug into the next steps of the campaign.
