Petition Launched Calling for UC Divestment From Israel in Response to Police Brutality | Jewish Journal
A petition was launched on June 1 calling for the University of California (UC) to divest from companies that conduct business with Israel, to combat police brutality.
The Algemeiner reported the petition, which included endorsements from various UC Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) and College Democrats chapters as well as individual students and faculty members at UC schools, calls for the UC to end contracts with all university police. The petition states that until the UC does so, it is “complicit in racism.” The petition then goes onto call for divestment from Israel.
