TIAA-CREF (2010 – 2013)

The We Divest coalition campaign compelled retirement giant TIAA-CREF to drop Caterpillar and Veolia from it’s Social Choice Fund. These actions, by the largest retirement fund in the US, defined profiting from violations of Palestinian rights as outside what it means to be socially responsible.

Over 20,000 shareholders, professors, students, public health workers and community activists joined JVP and allies in recognizing that investing in companies that profit from the Israeli occupation is irresponsible and unethical.
