Vote Palestine in Odense
In Odense, the Palestine Solidarity Movement has started a campaign in continuation of the campaign in Copenhagen. The campaign is independent of political parties, and our goal is to push candidates to take real action.
Vote Palestine in Odense has three key demands for the candidates running for the Odense local (municipal) elections on November 18, 2025. The three demands for candidates in Odense Municipality are the same as Vote Paletine's demands for candidates in Copenhagen Municipality: divestment, figth racism and discrimination and protect pro-Palestinian freedom of expression.
Candidates in Odense Municipality
The following candidates in Odense Municipality have committed to Vote Palestine's three demands: divest municipal funds from companies that contribute to genocide and occupation; figth racism and discrimination against Muslims and people from the Global South; and protect freedom of expression for pro-Palestinian voices in Odense.

Our Demands
Divestment
Commit to ensuring that Odense Municipality does not invest in companies complicit in the genocide and occupation of the Palestinian population.
Odense Municipality currently holds investments of 308 million in 45 companies that are complicit in Israel's ongoing genocide against Palestinians and in companies connected to Israeli settlements. These companies appear on the BDS movement's list of businesses that directly profit from the genocide, and several are cited in UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese's June 2025 report, which highlights companies directly involved.
Fight racism
Commit
to actively combating anti-Muslim racism and discrimination against
fellow residents from the Global South in Odense Municipality.
Freedom of expression
Commit to protecting pro-Palestinian freedom of expression in Odense Municipality.
You can find a more detailed description of our three demands here. This description is based on Copenhagen Municipality, but the demands for candidates in Odense Municipality are the same. However, the demand for divestment is based on the specific investments of the respective municipality.
