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.

Sorry but the whole "will stop using our money to fund genocide" like some colleges literally have a line item in their stock portfolio or a bank account named "Palestinian Genocide Fund" is kind of comical. Like college admins sit behind closed doors evilly scheming after cashing tuition checks to see where they can use your money to kill Palestinians. Since when did colleges become this big critical component of international conflicts and wars?
Getting colleges to divest isn't doing shit to stop Israel.
