*Action Alert*

	


	
------------------------------------------------------------------------


      The Israel Lobby has launched an all-out smear campaign against
      nonviolent direct action. We need your help to overcome their slander.

/I support divestment because I believe in nonviolence. /

	

  You can show brave Presbyterian activists
they aren't alone.

Take Action!

Dear David,

Destroying more than 18,000 homes since 1967. Developing biometric ID 
cards that segregate people by ethnicity and religion. Selling 
surveillance systems to protect illegal settlements throughout the West 
Bank.

*/Sound like corporations you’d want to invest in?/*

Probably not.

Next week, the Presbyterian Church is going to take up that exact 
question: /should they divest from Caterpillar, Hewlett-Packard, and 
Motorola Solutions – three companies that all profit from the Israeli 
occupation?/

*So please: show Presbyterian activists ready for real change you're 
with them!*

support divestment._

We all know the Israel Lobby has a way of making people of conscience 
feel real lonely standing up.

And the Presbyterian Church is coming under intense pressure from the 
Lobby to say “no” to divestment. Supporters of this non-violent, 
time-honored tactic are being labeled “Retrograde.” “Demonizing.” 
“Offensive.” And, of course, “anti-semitic.”

/But think about it for a moment – what are they’re really saying 
beneath those buzzwords? To pro-actively invest in occupation./

It’s cynical, but sadly, effective.

*A**nd the most helpful thing we can do – our obligation, even – is to 
show them who really supports divestment.* To show that we’re Jewish, 
Muslim, atheist, young, old, wealthy, working class, men, women, 
activists, educators, students and more.

*And that we know investing in the daily human suffering of occupation 
is wrong.*

Standing up for justice can be lonely work. Let’s make sure our allies 
in the Presbyterian Church know they aren’t alone.
