To those protesting the war and genocide in Gaza, refusing to support those institutions with monetary gifts is also an option. If we stop financially supporting and investing in those institutions that make the production of weapons of war possible we can bring about a global universal cease fire and stand down. I personally have told UMass they will not receive any more money from me until they stop their association with Raytheon. That not only means divestiture, but also recruiting on the UMASS campus. I hope others will join in withholding any financial support from those institutions enabling global war. We must do everything possible to keep world war three from starting.
