Join students, faculty, New Haven community members in demanding that the Corporation publicly commit to divesting from military weapons manufacturing or show proof that the topic was discussed at length by Sunday. Yale must end its complicity in Israel's genocidal war on Palestine. Yale refuses to disclose how much of its $40 billion endowment—worth more than 90 countries' annual GDP—is invested in weapons. Public SEC filings show that Yale holds millions of dollars invested in index funds with exposure to weapons manufacturers like Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon (RTX), and the Adani Group that make the bombs, planes, drones, and weapons used in Israel's assault on Gaza. SEC filings are only the tip of the iceberg: over 99% of Yale's endowment is routed through shell companies overseen by Wall Street hedge fund managers who center weapons and war in their investing strategies, too. Farallon Capital—launched with seed funding from Yale in the 1990s—invests in Howmet Aerospace which forms the "backbone" of Israel's F-35s. JLL Partners owns Jonathan Engineered Solutions, a key supplier for General Dynamics and Lockheed Martin. Insight Partners funds weapons-minded startups that brag about "maximizing lethality." The ubiquity of military corporations in the American economy implies that billions more in Yale's endowment are likely further tied to weapons. Our community refuses to let Yale make our education in New Haven contingent on death and destruction abroad. Tell the Corporation: divest from military weapons now. https://actionnetwork.org/letters/yale-corporation-divest-from-weapons-and-genocide
