With the increasing state of militarism we’re in, it’s more important than ever to Divest from the War Machine! This campaign takes a bold stand against imperialism, militarism, corporate profiteering, and endless wars. Divestment is the key to reclaiming our resources that are being wasted on devastating the earth and its inhabitants and redirecting them toward life-affirming programs. Every dollar fueling the war machine is a dollar stolen from education, healthcare, and the fight against climate change. This includes divesting from Israeli companies perpetuating occupation and genocide, as well as weapons manufacturers that arm Israel’s terror on Palestine. Together, we can cut off the financial lifelines to war and oppression and build a future rooted in justice and peace. This site will equip you with the tools you need to join us in taking action today!
