Palestine will soon be free, but many people of Gaza are running out of time. We must act now to stop apartheid and genocide, and at a minimum divest from structures supporting it. Please demand the Oregon Treasury and the Oregon Investment Council comply with international law, UN recommendations, Oregon legislative precedent, and its own guiding principles to divest from Israel Bonds, Caterpillar Inc., and Bank of America.

Please sign to petition the Oregon Treasury and the Oregon Investment Council (OIC) to:

1) Discontinue investments in Israel Bonds for as long as Israel remains an apartheid state;
2) Divest from Caterpillar Inc. and Bank of America while these companies are complicit in genocide; and
3) Demand the Oregon Treasury develop a human rights investment policy to prevent such investments in the future.
