MN: Divest Now!
August 23, 2022 @ 5:00 pm - 6:30 pm
GOVERNOR WALZ: STOP BUILDING RACIST BORDER WALLS WITH OUR MONEY!!
Protest! Governor’s Mansion
Tuesday, August 23rd @ 5pm
1006 Summit Ave St Paul, MN
The Minnesota State Board of Investments (SBI) has millions of our dollars invested in Elbit Systems, a weapons company that built the anti-Palestinian apartheid walls in Israel and now is building Trump’s racist border wall on the Mexico-US border (now being finished under Biden)! Elbit sells its weapons bragging that they are “field tested” when they are used to commit human rights crimes on Palestinians. We don’t want MN tax dollars being spent on occupation!
Groups have repeatedly protested and demanded that the SBI divest not just from Elbit but from the entire occupation of Palestine. The SBI also invests in Israel Bonds, direct unrestricted loans to the Government of Apartheid Israel. We’ve collected thousands of signatures from Minnesotans and continue to fight! Join us the day before the next SBI meeting at Walz’s mansion to send a loud message:
- Divest from apartheid!
- Divest from occupation!
- Divest from Israel!
FROM PALESTINE TO MEXICO: ALL THE WALLS HAVE GOT TO GO!
Organized by the AntiWar Committee and endorsed by American Muslims for Palestine, Jewish Voice for Peace -TC, MN Immigrant Rights Actin Committee, MN Peace Action Coalition, SDS at the UMN, Students for Justice in Palestine and Women Against Military Madness.
