New on Eyes on the Ties

Billionaires and real estate interests have given millions of dollars to super PACs spending heavily in Democratic primary elections for the New York State Assembly. These super PACs are trying to defeat candidates – both incumbents and challengers – who are vocal supporters of increased taxes on the ultra-rich and expanding protections for tenants in New York.” Optional third sentence: “All of the Assembly candidates backed by the billionaire and real estate super PACs are also being supported by a new PAC described as “a state-level analog to [AIPAC]” whose donor network also overlaps with the super PAC funders

#BankingOnSolidarity: Citibank Cut Ties with Genocide

In partnership with Visualizing Palestine we co-released a series of [powerful graphics]([link removed]) that highlight Citibank’s role in financing and propping up occupation and genocide in Palestine.

Citibank has a long history of colonial exploitation. It pushed for the U.S. government to occupy Haiti in 1915 in order to take control of the country’s resources. In 1987, it was the last bank to pull out of apartheid South Africa. A decade later, the bank became the first U.S. bank to enter the Israeli market, where it has only deepened its complicity since the start of the genocide.

Citibank was forced to stop doing business with South Africa during apartheid, and [we can do the same with Israel and Citibank]([link removed]).
