This petition only covers Santa Cruz County investments with companies complicit in genocide. Those companies being Intel, Toyota, and Caterpillar. However, there are still other investments in our portfolio which need to be addressed including Apple, Bank of America, and JP Morgan. Firstly, We demand that the Board of Supervisors and the Treasury Oversight Commission divest from all companies complicit in the genocide of Palestinians. It has been clear from the start of Israel's campaign that the goal was to ethnically cleanse; government officials at the local level need to do everything possible to ensure that we are investing according to the values we claim to uphold. Lastly, we demand that that the Board Of Supervisors Adopt a Values Aligned Investment Policy; to ensure that we no longer invest in any companies committing human rights abuses at home or abroad; to ensure that we as a county, are investing in a manner that reflects the values and beliefs of our community.
