SUMMARY:The State of State Divestment
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Saturday\, May 2 for a discussion on state-level divestment campaigns in the United States. Activists from the state of Washington will share insights from their recent successful effort to push the state Treasurer to divest from Caterpillar\, due to the company’s longstanding involvement in Israel’s grave human rights violations against Palestinians. \nWe will also hear from organizers in California who are building a broad\, union-centered coalition to target the state’s pension funds and advance divestment efforts. They are motivated by the understanding that ending complicity is a legal and moral obligation. \nAnd we’ll hear from activists in Minnesota\, who successfully pressured the state to sell off most of its Israel Bonds. \nThis session will be valuable for activists who are already engaged in BDS campaigns\, as well as for those just getting started. While the focus will be on campaigns in the US\, the lessons and strategies discussed will be relevant to divestment efforts globally. \n\nEvent Cosponsors include the BDS Movement\, American Friends Service Committee (AFSC)\, Jewish Voice for Peace\, CalSTRS Divest\, and Minnesota Anti War Action Network. \n\nWhen: Saturday\, May 2 – 12 PM PT/3 PM ET/9 PM CET \nRSVP for Zoom link.
