Mourning in America: The 65th Anniversary of Sorrow, Loss and Determination to Return

 

My East Coast guest today was Sundus Seif,  with Students for Justice in Palestine, Brooklyn College: Here’s the kick0off, in her own words: “On Feb. 7, more than 200 shareholders filed a resolution to divest from Veolia, a corporation that provides segregated transportation services to Israeli settlers living on Palestinian land in the West Bank. TIAA-CREF’s challenge of the resolution at the SEC contradicts its stated commitment to socially responsible investing and shareholder advocacy. Ultimately, we will remember if TIAA-CREF demonstrated a commitment to socially responsible investing in Israel-Palestine when we choose our retirement fund."
