For decades, students have fought to end university investments in industries built on harm and violence—against people and the planet. Divestment has been a proven strategy to dismantle apartheid, challenge fossil fuel profiteering, and cut U.S. military aid to Israel. It is a powerful tool to withdraw financial support from oppressive systems and redirect resources toward a just, sustainable, and liberated society.
History shows that divestment works. It helped bring down apartheid in South Africa, and today, it is a key tactic in the fight against genocide and corporate-backed oppression. In 2024, student-led divestment movements surged across the country, demanding an end to U.S. military aid fueling Israel’s genocide of Palestinians. This poster honors their resistance and calls for action.
It’s time to pull our dollars from corporations that bankroll war, hate, and extremism—the same forces that empowered Trump and uphold violent policies. Many GOP-backed companies profit from the suffering of children and families while shaping policies that serve the wealthy elite. We must hold them accountable by shifting our financial power toward businesses and institutions that align with our values.
Originally created for the DIVEST movement in Palestine, this piece also challenges billionaire influence in our government and elections. The fight for divestment is a fight for justice, and it’s one we must continue.
