Demand Divestment from Councilmembers Casey, Mulcahy, Cohen, and Tordillos
At the March 24th San Jose City Council meeting, dozens of San Jose community members gave public comment demanding that the San Jose City Council divest from genocide & ICE. The city currently has over $115 million invested in corporations that work with Israel and ICE.
Councilmembers Ortiz and Kamei put forward a memorandum that would ban future investments in Microsoft, Amazon, and Alphabet, an important first step in the struggle for ethical investment.
Four councilmembers voted no on the memorandum: Casey, Mulcahy, Cohen, and Tordillos.
As ICE terrorizes our immigrant neighbors, and Israel murders tens of thousands of innocent Palestinians, these four councilmembers remain complicit.
San Jose residents have made it clear that we will not allow our city funds to be invested in genocide or ICE.
We must hold these councilmembers accountable and continue to fight for divestment.
Send an email to councilmembers Casey, Mulcahy, Cohen, and Tordillos to demand divestment!
