‼️What is a phone blockade?
The idea is for you to phone BNY Mellon repeatedly during your time slot (or whenever works for you), and if you get through, reading a little script we provide. It can be done from home or on your lunch break!

‼️What do we hope to accomplish?
This action is about demonstrating the overwhelming public support for Palestine and divestment from the Zionist regime, which jams up their phone lines so that customers can’t get through in the process! This blockade will be taking place on the same day in Britain, the west coast and the east coast of the so-called ‘US’.

‼️Why BNY Mellon?
BNY Mellon invest over £10 million in Israel’s biggest private weapons manufacturer, Elbit systems. Elbit systems provide 85% of Israel’s military drone fleet and land-based equipment, as well as missiles, bombs and other military technology. They provide those very same weapons that are used against Palestinians in Gaza and sold to oppressive regimes all over the world.

‼️What Timezone?
We will be targetting branches in the following locations:
New York City (9am-5pm EST)
San Francisco (9am - 5pm PST)
UK (9am - 5pm GMT)
Sign up for the blockade that works best for your timezone!

Now more than ever, in the early stages of the ceasefire agreement and as the Israeli regime continues its expansion of illegal settlements across the West Bank by forcefully expelling Palestinians from their land, we must make it clear that we will not allow business as usual for the bloodsoaked corporations that provide financial backing for Israel’s war crimes.
