For over a century, the retirement plan giant TIAA-CREF has striven to provide financial services for the greater good, helping those in the academic, medical, cultural, and research fields to plan for and live in retirement.

That commmitment to serving the greater good stands in stark contrast with TIAA-CREF's continued investment in companies that profit from the Israeli occupation of Gaza and the West Bank, including East Jerusalem.

Some of the companies in which TIAA-CREF invests provide weapons and surveillance supplies that maintain the occupation by force. Caterpillar supplies armor plated and weaponized bulldozers that are used for demolition work. Veolia profits from illegal Jewish-only segregated settlements by operating a landfill in the West Bank, exploiting Palestinian natural resources to serve the settlements, and by operating a bus service in a segregated road closed off to Palestinians.

Many more take or exploit Palestinian resources, including scarce water and even the land itself.

TIAA-CREF participants, investors, and supporters who are concerned about these ongoing investments have joined together with Jewish Voice for Peace, in coalition with Adalah-NY: the New York Campaign for the Boycott of Israel, Grassroots International, and the US Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation to request TIAA-CREF divest from all companies that profit from or contribute to the Israeli occupation and establish investment criteria to exclude such companies in the future.

Take action today and tell TIAA-CREF to divest from all companies that profit from the Israeli occupation.

With TIAA-CREF's commitment to the greater good, they should not be investing in companies that profit from Israel's violations of international law and international human rights standards.

Demand TIAA-CREF divest from the Israeli occupation so their retirement plan participants can invest the fruit of their labor and enjoy their retirement in good conscience.
