Read statements of endorsement from Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors, Jewish Voice for Peace, and more.
Read the open letters from Palestinian and Jewish students on campus in support of divestment. "To achieve financial neutrality in this conflict, and encourage the genuine introspection that Israel needs to end its immoral military occupation, our institution must divest from the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories. Divestment weakens the multinational corporations which provide the infrastructure for and profit off of this occupation, making a genuine peace - a just peace - more possible. Make no mistake: As was the case in South Africa, history is marching forward. Now is the time to decide whether or not this institution will be on its right side." Read Muzz Shittu's new op-ed in the Stanford Daily: "An awkward echo: 1977/2015". |
