  1. #Maine's Largest City Becomes First on US East Coast to Back #IsraelDivestment

    "'We urge everyone to join this effort in their own communities,' said the #MaineCoalitionForPalestine. 'Our tax money should not be spent killing women and children in #Palestine."

    "Lawmakers in #PortlandMaine voted unanimously on Wednesday to #divest public funds from 'all entities complicit" in #Israel's assault on the #GazaStrip, making the city the first on the U.S. East Coast to take such a step.

    "Sponsored by the Maine Coalition for Palestine and the Maine chapter of #JewishVoiceForPeace (#JVP), the newly approved resolution contains a 'divestment list' of more than 85 companies, from U.S.-based #Chevron, #LockheedMartin, and #Boeing to Israel-based #Elbit Systems. The list also includes public entities such as #IsraelBonds and state-owned #IsraelAerospaceIndustries.

    "'The city of Portland recognizes the ongoing humanitarian crisis in #Gaza and seeks to avoid economically supporting this crisis through the city's financial investments,' the resolution states. 'The city council urges that the city manager divest the city of Portland from all entities complicit in the current and ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza and occupation of Palestine, including, without limitation, all entities on the divestment list when it is feasible and carries no financial penalty to the city.'

    "Additionally, the resolution 'urges the city manager to not make any future directly held general fund investment in any entities complicit in the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and occupation of Palestine.'"
