We protested the Illinois State Board of Investment (ISBI) quarterly meeting yesterday and packed the public comment to demand ISBI and its Vice Chair, State Treasurer Michael Frerichs, stop funding genocide through Israel Bonds and investments in companies complicit in the occupation of Palestine

Happening now: outside the IL State Board of Investments meeting in downtown Chicago, activists are rallying against ISBI Treasurer & Vice Chair Michael Frerichs. Frerichs is responsible for increasing the state's investment portfolio in war weapons manufacturers like Boeing and Lockheed Martin.

On Tuesday we joined CJP & demonstrated outside the Zionist consulate @ 500 West Madison to voice our outrage after Israeli occupation forces disregarded the ceasefire agreement & launched a series of attacks resulting in over 400 martyrs, bombing tents with displaced people, homes, schools, & more.

Anti-War Committee Chicago had an action-packed first year in our fight against the genocide of the Palestinian people by the Zionist Israeli regime. Starting with our first meeting in February 2024, we helped organize the Coalition to March on the DNC, and launched a state-wide divestment campaign.
