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.\n\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.\n\nAnd we’ll hear from activists in Minnesota, who 
 successfully pressured the state to sell off most of its Israel 
 Bonds.\n\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\n
