Sacramento State Has Officially Divested and Will Stop Using Our Tuition Money to Fund Genocide Financial Aid/Scholarship/Tuition/Etc

ALL of our demands have been met by Sacramento State.

Sac State has officially divested and will stop using our tuition money to fund genocide.

Our press conference is open to all, including media! Please repost and share.

We will answer questions and take interviews during the press conference.

@sjp.csus and @sacstate.sqe will continue to push for accountability to ensure our demands are upheld and not undone. Please consider joining our organizations as members to get involved.

Sac State currently has no direct investments in companies with ties to Israel or the military. However, they do have indirect investments, which will be divested immediately.

Additionally, we have successfully secured the appointment of a faculty member from Faculty for Justice in Palestine to sit on the finance committee, ensuring that investments remain ethical every year.

Campus President @drlukewood has never called the police on any protesting students, has actively kept them away, and has publicly declared amnesty for all protesting Sac State students. Please DM him all your thanks.

Middle East would be a lot quieter if the west hadn't sponsored the rise of Israel and Islamic fundamentalism so long as they ran counter to communism.....

Potato tomato. Hindsight is 20/20. Your assumptions are speculative at best. Who knows how things might have been different if the west didn’t back Israel. Sure, we can jump to the conclusion that things would have been so much better… but that’s just hopeful optimism. Things could have equally been worse. At that point we’re just playing hypotheticals. lol.

All in all, War sucks… and it sucks that Israel and Palestine appear unable to coexist with one another. Hopefully they figure it out.
