Friends of LittleSis,

A reminder that our next webinar in the Research Tools of Organizers training series is a week from today on June 20th at 7pm ET. This training will focus on how and why to research Nonprofit organizations. Here’s a brief description of the training and a link to register:

On Monday, June 10th, LittleSis joined hundreds of people from all across Pennsylvania in Harrisburg to demand that legislators listen to their voters over billionaire school privatization advocate Jeff Yass. Using campaign finance research - residents brought legislators giant checks highlighting the outsized influence of Yass as the top donor in Pennsylvania politics.

In partnership with Visualizing Palestine we co-released a series of powerful graphics 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.

Onward,

LittleSis
