#UIUCDivest calls for divestment from corporations that are complicit in and which profit from the occupation and oppression of the Palestinian people

[Palestine Legal @pal_legal]

Following an impressive campaign from @uiucdivest, the student government voted 20-9-7 in favor of divesting from human rights violations around the world. The student president then vetoed the resolution. @SJPUIUC says this highlights "the Palestine exception to free speech.”
