How can we use our money proactively and withdraw it strategically to express our values with regard to Palestine? Panelists will present both investment and divestment options, for individuals and groups, including advocacy on investments by our states.
Presenters
• Dov (Dalit) Baum, Director of Corporate Accountability and Research, Action Center for Corporate Accountability, American Friends Service Committee,
• Nadia Ismael from the Board of the Woven Futures Fund, a program of the Women Donors Network, and
• Diana Fakhoury, Washington for Peace and Justice, Palestinian-led advocacy for a just world, speaking on WA: CUT TIES WITH GENOCIDE.
This seminar is part of the discernment in North Pacific Yearly Meeting around endorsing the Quaker genocide statement and taking the Apartheid-free pledge. Participants in previous seminars have called for NPYM Friends to move beyond these endorsements into action. This panel will provide some of the concrete possibilities.
The seminar is offered by the Northwest Quaker Palestine-Israel Network. To join the network, send an email to [email protected].
