Two years ago, the Palestinian Youth
Movement launched Mask off Maersk: a campaign to expose and end logistic giant
Maersk’s facilitation of the genocide of the Palestinian people. Since then,
the work has grown into the People’s Embargo for Palestine, a movement taking
action in pursuit of a global arms embargo against Israel. A newly
released investigative report exposes Maersk’s deep, ongoing role in
supplying Israel’s weapons industry. Since October 2023, Maersk has shipped
millions of kilograms of ammunition components — including bullet cores, bomb
bodies, and mortar parts — directly to Elbit Systems, Israel’s
largest weapons manufacturer. These are the materials that become the
bullets, mortars, and bombs used against Palestinians. This report is direct
and undeniable evidence that Maersk is indeed transporting military components
to Israel — a fact they have continued to deny, including in a recent interview

in on Wed., June 17 at noon ET for an International Movement Briefing

Democracy will take place on June 17 at 1 PM ET. The Trump administration
is attacking diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs, the Equal

Break the Bonds
[info+maryland-break-the-bonds-steering-committee-info@sg.actionnetwork.org] on
Wed., June 17 from 3 to 6 PM at McKeldin Plaza, 101 E Pratt St., Baltimore
21230 will celebrate $63 Million in Divestment and demand Divest the Rest. The
pension board has reduced its holdings of Israeli bonds by 85%. The campaign
has won a major victory, as Maryland's State Retirement and Pension System
(MSRPS) divested 85% of the Israeli bonds that it held less than 12 months ago,
after over a year of community campaigning. Enjoy refreshments from a
Palestinian caterer and hear powerful speakers from advocacy partners. At
approximately 3:45 PM, march to the MSRPS office to deliver hundreds of
handwritten postcards calling for full divestment from Israeli government bonds
and investment in our communities. By approximately 4:30 PM return to McKeldin
Plaza to hear from more advocates and faith leaders, enjoy musical and poetic
performances, and get a group dance lesson in Palestinian dabke. RSVP at

Fatal meltdowns aside, nuclear power is dangerous, dirty, and expensive. From the uranium mine to the toxic waste pit,
nuclear power puts our health, environment, and climate at risk at every point in
its lifecycle. Nuclear plants require
large quantities of water, construction is slow and expensive, and radioactive
waste poses a giant threat because there are no good disposal options. These
are not the markers of a renewable energy source. On Wed., June 17, from 7 to 8
PM ET to learn about the history, current research, and political context of
nuclear energy, as well as our strategy to fight back and what you can do.
Hear from Tim Judson, Executive Director, Nuclear Information and
Resource Service (NIRS), Amanda
Starbuck, Research Director, Food & Water Watch and - Laura Shindell, New
York State Director, Food & Water Watch. RSVP at
