Call in Day to Governor Walz: Divest from Israel!
Tuesday, October 10th – all day
651-201-3400
Or contact him via email here: https://mn.gov/governor/connect/contact-us/contact-form.jsp
The MN State Board of Investment is meeting in November. Join our pressure campaign to tell them to divest MN from the $800 million they have invested in Israeli companies and weapons companies.
Call Governor Walz, who is one of four decision makers on the MN State Board of Investment, to tell him you want him to divest from Israel.
Sample message:
“Hello, my name is__________. As a Minnesotan I demand the Minnesota State Board of Investment end its shameful funding of Israel’s violent oppression of Palestinians! The modern country of Israel is internationally recognized as an apartheid state.
By Investing millions of public dollars in Israeli entities who are carrying out this criminal system, the Minnesota SBI has made Minnesota taxpayers complicit in, and the state pensioners unwitting beneficiaries of apartheid, genocide, and war. History will remember those supporting Israel the same as those of apartheid South Africa. Divest now!”
