On Feb. 1, after seven months of public pressure from organizers and community members, Summit County, Ohio allowed a $1 million investment in Israel Bonds to mature without reinvesting.

Israel Bonds are unrestricted loans to the Israeli Treasury. These bonds provide direct economic support for Israel’s apartheid and military infrastructure by funding the military occupation and illegal settlement expansions, as well as the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

      thanks for your contribution kim-salute

      organizers worked really hard for this and we’ve seen indications that we’ll have the same victory in Cuyahoga (Cleveland proper)
