Re: Opportunity to sign a letter supporting SFU's divestment from firms associated with the Israel Defence Forces



It seems to me this initiative could and perhaps should be much more frankly rephrased in terms of the outcomes at which it aims. JDF

Subject: Opportunity to sign a letter supporting SFU's divestment from firms associated with the Israel Defence Forces
 
Hi all,

I’ve been asked to forward the following link to this list.  It’s a letter to the Board of Governors, arguing that SFU should divest from the following five companies that support the Israel Defence Forces (IDF).

You can sign the letter, if so inclined, by filling in the box at the bottom (scroll down to the end of the list of signatories). If you’re having any technical issues signing, contact Roxanne Panchasi: panchasi@sfu.ca.


Best,
Eugene
