Good news for the displaced and discriminated against Bedouin refugees: Dear Rilriia, STL-Veolia-Win We are witnessing an extraordinary moment in history for the global flagship BDS (boycott, divestment, sanctions) campaign against the infamous multinational and occupation profiteer Veolia in the United States. We hope youll join us for a national briefing on the subject! In the wake of the groundbreaking news that Veolia sold off its segregated bus lines in Palestine/Israel following intense worldwide pressure (though it continues to profit from Israels occupation in other ways), member groups and allies in St. Louis, Missouri achieved a watershed victory last month when Veolia withdrew from consideration for a controversial water contract following 11 months of tireless advocacy by local activists for environmental safety, open government, workers rights, corporate accountability, and justice for Palestinians. TC Divests Veolia Great news! Click above to read statements on Veolia from workers, environmentalists, and others targeting Veolia, helping lead to this breakthrough. Then, just this morning, the We Divest Campaign announced that TIAA-CREF divested its Social Choice Fund from Veolia! This represents a clear victory for the broader progressive community in exposing Veolias true colors through active, cross-sector campaigns around the world.
