The Wall, Elbit and TIAA-CREF: Barriers to Resource Rights in Palestine
As part of our mission to promote resource rights, Grassroots International invites you to join with us in a campaign to ask TIAA-CREF to divest from Elbit Systems Ltd., which is a major corporation involved in the construction of the Separation Wall. The massive Wall, being built by defense contractor Elbit Systems Ltd., and its buffer zone significantly impede Palestinian access to fresh water and land. To support our Palestinian partners in their struggle to secure their resource and human rights, and at their urging, we are launching this divestment campaign to bring awareness to the resource and human rights violations that the Separation Wall creates in their daily lives.
