“This is just the tip of the iceberg: we will not stop, we will not rest until our tax & tuition dollars are divested from death & destruction & reinvested in life…We demand CUNY live up to its name as a 'People's University'!"

In @democracynow: the university system invested in military and defense contractors such as Caterpillar, Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, Boeing, and Palantir, Israel’s largest weapons manufacturer Elbit Systems, and private prison companies GEO Group and Core Civic.
🧵 🚨🚨🇵🇸🇵🇸CUNY students forced the university’s hand to disclose investments. Disclosures reveal deep ties & investments in the “Israeli” Occupation of the West Bank & East Jerusalem furthering the sale of #StolenPalestinianLand. Hundreds of thousands of dollars invested include Caterpillar, Elbit & 3 major Israeli banks. The Zionist entity enables the occupation & stealing of Palestinian land by brutal “Israeli” settlers. @CUNY, an academic institution, has no business using public tax dollars to support the zionist settler-colonial state. @pal_awda condemns CUNY’s complicity in genocide off of which it profits.

“CUNY is the largest urban public university in the country. It now joins the only other U.S. universities that have disclosed…– the University of Minnesota
& University of California, both of which disclosed in 2024 due to the pressure of pro-Palestinian student encampments”
After years of campus organizing and demonstrations, students at CUNY have forced the institution to disclose its investment ties to companies profiting from Israel’s crimes – including Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and Northrop Grumman. https://t.co/YzQolCUBJ5

Here are some reasons to reach out to us: 🧵
From the 1971 Attica Uprising in New York, which began 55 years ago today, to the 2021 Freedom Tunnel escape in Palestine, September is a month defined by the ongoing legacy of resistance and struggle from inside the prison walls.
CUNY, the largest urban public university in the USA, told us that they weren’t invested in genocide — until @cunylsjp sued and forced them to disclose their investments to us. The investments revealed are far worse than we anticipated.
