Enlist to Divest Terror

The success of a national divestment campaign against companies doing business in or with terrorist-sponsoring states depends wholly on the dedication, perseverance and resolve of Americans across the country.  While DivestTerror.org can provide the architecture, coordination and tools for this campaign, success will be based on your efforts.   

Target State Officials First By Sending THIS LETTER (Word format)

The most important target for your efforts is your state legislature, which holds the power to mandate legislatively the divestment of stock by your state’s public pension systems.  As illustrated by our report entitled Terrorism Investments of the 50 States, most of America’s public pension systems invest in scores, or even hundreds, of companies that do business with terror-sponsoring states.  Because these public funds invest billions of dollars in such companies, pension systems have enormous leverage.  They also represent the quickest and most effective route to pressuring target companies to suspend their business operations in these countries until such time as state-sponsorship of terrorism there is ceased.  As South Africa taught us, however, these funds will not divest unless forced to do so. 

Addtionally, we call on EVERY American to send THIS LETTER (Word format) and demand from investment managers that everyportfolio they manage can exercise a certified "terror-free option."
