ACT NOW: Demand Maryland End Public Funding for Maryland Israel Development Center (MIDC)

The Maryland Israel Development Center (MIDC) serves as the broker to bring Israeli companies into Maryland. Most are weapons manufacturers. The State of Maryland provides the MIDC with grants and special privileges. Two of the “companies” (Elta North America and Rafael) are actually part of the Israeli military itself. To learn more, watch this video from Peace Action Montgomery.

Maryland's Commerce Secretary Kevin Anderson, a board member of the organization, has not responded to IMAN Network's request for a meeting to discuss these concerns.

Amnesty International, an international human rights NGO with over 10 million members, recently disclosing the finding of their report, declaring Israel is in fact committing genocide.

JOIN the IMAN NETWORK in calling on the State of Maryland to end public funding for MIDC.

Maryland must ensure that no public funds support institutions or entities tied to Israel’s military-industrial complex, such as the MIDC. Maryland taxpayers should not be forced to subsidize an apartheid regime that is committing atrocities against innocent people including aid workers and healthcare workers.

The State of Maryland and all of its agencies and counties should end all grants and privileges provided to the MIDC and ensure that leadership demonstrates and reflects values of justice, human dignity, and equality.
