UIUC Alumni: Pledge to Never Give until Divestment from Israel
The Issue
We, alumni of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, stand in solidarity with the people of Gaza, and unequivocally support the UIUC students who have established a solidarity encampment with the following concrete demands:
(1) Divest: UIUC must divest from any organizations or corporations that profit from or support the occupation of Palestine.
(2) Disclose: UIUC must publicly disclose all financial assets, including investments, endowments, and other holdings, to ensure full transparency and accountability.
(3) Boycott: UIUC must cease collaborations with Israeli institutions as well as all corporations involved in the ongoing oppression of Palestinians, such as Caterpillar.
(4) Support: UIUC must offer complete amnesty to all student protesters and halt any and all forms of repression against those advocating for justice.
Until UIUC agrees to fulfill these demands, we pledge to never give nor participate in the University as alumni. Chancellor Jones, UIUC administration, and the Board of Trustees will be made aware of this petition, so please sign, show your support, and forward to your fellow alumni.
Free Palestine!
