Join us on Saturday, January 17 for a panel with Nida Abu Baker on the Holy Land 5 🇵🇸🗝️

⏰ Jan 17 @ 2 pm
đź“ŤSanctuary @ Fountain St Church

Nida Abu Baker is the daughter of Palestinian political prisoner and member of the HLF 5, Shukri Abu Baker. Nida is an activist and writter advocating for the struggle of Palestinian political prisoners. Shukri and Ghassan Elashi of the HLF 5 remain unjustly incarcerated, serving their 18th year in prison for the crime of solidarity with the Palestinian people.

While Gaza remains under siege and the Zionist occupation expands its attacks on the West Bank and Lebanon, it is imperative that we amplify the voices of our political prisoners from Beaumont Texas to occupied Palestine. Our prisoners bear the brunt of state repression and their sacrifices must drive our movement forward🔥⛓️‍💥

“When we raise our voices as one in opposition to grave injustice, it matters.” -Anna Martinez Hume of Michigan Divest.

Michigan Divest delivered a statement to the State of Michigan Investment Board commending the Michigan Treasury for their decision to decline to reinvest public pension and taxpayer funds in Isr**l Bonds.

Lansing for Palestine has been proud to be involved with the Michigan Divest coalition throughout this campaign. Michigan Divest will continue to monitor the State of Michigan Retirement System to ensure that taxpayer funds are never invested in isr**li government bonds so long as the genoc*de, aparthe*d, and illegal occupation in 🍉 continues.

DIVESTMENT VICTORY! The Michigan Treasury has divested all directly held Israel Bonds from the State of Michigan Retirement System (SMRS), which manages $115B for over 500,000 public employees, one of the largest retirement systems in the country. This massive win follows a year-long campaign by Michigan residents, public employees, and over 50 supporting organizations, of which JVP was honored to stand and organize alongside. Supported by union resolutions and public pressure, Michigan Divest authored a petition in October with over 2200 signatures to the Michigan Treasury demanding non-reinvestment.

Israel Bonds are loans from individuals and institutions to the Israeli treasury, making up to 25% of Israel’s foreign debt and significantly supporting Israel’s economy. Divesting from these bonds would disrupt the flow of funds to the Israeli government, interrupting “business as usual” — including the business of Israel’s apartheid regime and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.

SMRS has effectively ended a 30-year relationship with Israel Bonds, responding to community activists’ campaign. It is incredible news that financial officers agree with concerned Michiganians: risky, poor-performing, and inflexible Israel Bonds are not a good investment for our communities.

This is a massive win that comes as part of a wave of decisions by states across the US to divest or not re-invest in Israel Bonds. We will continue to send a clear message to our political leaders that we will no longer tolerate their use of Israel Bonds as an investment. Now more than ever, backing Israel Bonds, and the violence their economy sustains, is not just a moral failure but a financial one as well.
