ISM Brighton staged another action against CATerpillar on Sat 16th August. Activists staged a die-in outside Barrats Shoes, a shop supplying CATerpillar products, and handed out leaflets to passers by asking them not to shop there until they ceased trading with CAT. Activists held up a banner proclaiming ‘CATerkiller–Demolishing Palestine, Demolishing Peace’. The ISM had sent letters to all shops selling CAT goods in Brighton explaining CAT’s role in the occupation and asking them not to sell CAT product. The action was part of a concerted campaign in Brighton to alert consumers to CAT’s unethical sales policy.
