A retired Pension Fund scheme member has requested to speak at this upcoming meeting, on behalf of scheme members who responded in support of the council's proposed the divestment plan. This is also an oportunity to find out whether some scheme members are opposing the committee's proposals.

See recent updates on Islington's Pensions Fund Divestment campaign. We are proud of Islington scheme members for showing their strong ethics. The council has made important strides forward but is dragging its feet at a critical time. We need accountability, now. We need a timeline, now.

Are we seriously sending another Labour prime minister to oversee a part of the world they have helped to destroy? The people of Gaza deserve better then to have our deeply unpopular prime minister serve as one of their colonial administrators. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

🚨 Elbit Systems has lost the £2bn army training contract to Raytheon UK. While we welcome the loss of the contract to a subsidiary of Israel's largest weapons manufacturer, we must oppose these investments into "preparations for war" all while welfare and public investments are being cut.

We welcome the news that one of our demands has been met. Barclays is the worst of a bad bunch however we recognise Lloyds, the new bank, is not perfect. We will continue to press for a real alternative and keep up the pressure, until Islington council fully divests & meets the rest of our demands.

The Ministry of Justice is still refusing to meet with the lawyers or families of hunger strikers being held on remand. This is a shambolic dereliction of duty. I have written to David Lammy, again, imploring him to do the right thing before it is too late.

Today I stood with peace activists outside Westminster Magistrates Court, in solidarity with those who have been arrested for protesting against genocide. The proscription of Palestine Action is truly shameful. We must defend the right to demonstrate!

Sainsbury’s markets itself as a brand that delivers “good food for all of us”. But stocking products from companies directly involved in Israel’s occupation and apartheid regime they’re in direct contradiction with their values. Take action send a letter to Sainsbury’s (link in bio)!

Recognition is no doubt significant but it will be a hollow gesture if the UK does not also seek to end Israel's genocide, illegal occupation, and system of apartheid against the Palestinian people. 🧵1/3

Italy was on strike in solidarity with Palestinians last Monday. Hundreds of thousands demonstrated blocking roads, ports & railway stations. In Rome, many drivers found themselves stuck in traffic — & were happy about it, saluting demonstrators & condemning Israel’s genocide against Palestinians.
