@uwp-aotearoa.bsky.social mahi and community has been one of my highlights this year. And we’re getting somewhere! UniSaver asked to meet with us next month. Very inspired by Justice for Palestine’s campaign for ASB to divest from Motorola, which they announced today has been successful ✊🏽🥳

Our campaign featured in @thespinoff.bsky.social! “Dozens of [Palestinian] university workers have been directly targeted, because they [Israel] know the power of knowledge and education. This is about solidarity with our Palestinian colleagues,” Thomas says. Read more below ⬇️

In the first 48 hours of our new open letter we had 250 signatures. 20% of them were university workers who would joint UniSaver IF if had a BDS policy. BDS is both the ethical choice and good business sense ✅🍉

Was quite shocked when I compared my ASB KiwiSaver account with my Unisaver one on mindfulmoney.nz and discovered that Unisaver (which is the one I don’t have a choice about) was much more unethically invested (for the same overall settings)

3/ As someone who researches and teaches on climate justice, I am thoroughly appalled to see UniSaver is able to develop a low carbon fund, but not develop similar mechanisms to avoid funding genocide.

The Greens just announced Labour has agreed to support the bill to skip the Biscuit Tin, and that all the need now is the support of 6 National MPs. So if your local MP is A: a National MP and B: not a Minister, consider writing to them and asking they support it too.

"Were I doing my job in Gaza, I would be dead or displaced now. And it should be a point of deep shame for Mercer, Russell Investments, and UniSaver that they are funding the scholasticide of our peers in Palestine and the wider genocide of its people." www.youtube.com/shorts/I38Oe...

on a green background above images of protest, the slide explains:
"We are geographers, faculty, students and people of conscience organizing in response to institutional silence and complicity with the Israeli state’s colonial, discriminatory and oppressive policies towards Palestinians.

We come together in the midst of a genocidal war against Palestinians and in the aftermath of massive protests and repression on university campuses across the globe."

People turn their back on David Seymour at Waitangi. Solidarity doesn't stop at imperialist border lines, but runs unbroken for a free Palestine and tino rangatiratanga. Uni workers will be at Treaty grounds, hīkoi, + community events tomorrow. Photo originally posted by @beefaerie.bsky.social.

Thread: How did we get here? University Workers for Palestine (UWP) formed in 2024. At first, we needed to meet up for events and protests supporting Palestine. We needed to connect and consider how to push our institutions to Boycott and Divest from Israel.

Two buttons: "Fund genocide", "Change 0.06% of investments". Sweating guy who can't decide is UniSaver.
