Building a People’s Arms Embargo: How to divest from weapons companies profiting from the Gaza genocide

It's our role to stop the weapons: we know that *70%* of Israel’s genocide has been paid for by U.S. tax dollars, and both the policymakers AND the profiteers of genocide live & work here in the United States. When the masses of people coalesce around strategic campaigns against mega-corporations, we transform the economic outlook of apartheid Israel, pressuring the powerful to cut ties with genocide!

Join us to learn about a series of strategic BDS campaigns for companies, institutions, and governments to cut ties with genocide, called the People’s Arms Embargo. We’ll share new resources and lessons on this expanding are of BDS work. Then, we’ll hear from a former and a current USCPR fellows and other local campaign organizers:

Aisha with Palestinian Youth Movement’s Mask Off Maersk campaign and Honor the Earth about taking on the underbelly of imperialism: the logistics company Maersk that is responsible for shipping weapons and military goods to the Israeli Ministry of Defense.

Adan from New Orleans Stop Helping Israel’s Ports (NOSHIP) about how to get started with identifying local Maersk sites and demanding the company cut ties with genocide.

Join us, and get inspired by and plug into the Chevron: Stop Fueling Genocide campaign to use boycott and divestment to pressure Chevron to divest from extracting fuel for Israel from fields off the coast of Palestine.
