18 March Organising Meeting
FREE
Our divestment campaign is at a critical juncture and we need to develop a strategy for when we hand in our petition of 3,000 signatures. What are our next steps and how will we get Lewisham Council and the Pensions Investment Committee to no longer invest in Israeli genocide and apartheid?
We need to discuss how we will engage and pressure Lewisham Councilors, what demands we will have when we have our time to discuss our petition at Lewisham Council, and what steps we can take to make sure our demands are implemented and not just agreed to and later dismissed. There are important discussions to be had about setting up a new fund at the LCIV and what we can do to ensure reforms won are integrated into the government's plans to set up a MegaFund in 2026.
Food will be provided and children are welcome
The Pension Investment Committee has agreed to more engagement with fund managers so that they can ‘talk about investments in defense, conflict zones and any other issues that cause concerns’. It’s up to us now to ensure they honour this commitment and follow through with divestment from companies complicit in Israeili apartheid and genocide.
Its important to note that Lewisham Council has not altered their investments to reflect this proposed change in investment strategy.
Most of the complicit companies sit in the council's largest fund, the Passive Equity Progressive Paris Aligned Fund or PEPPA for short. These companies include several Israeli banks that fund the expansion of settlements in the West Bank. The fund also includes investment in Palantir, a company that provides advanced AI tools to the Israeli military, enabling Israel’s attacks on Palestinians.
