Friends of LittleSis,

Today, we’re joining our partners at Adalah Justice Project and the Action Center on Race and the Economy to release new research exposing the connections between weapons manufacturers who are currently sending weapons to Israel, and prominent academic and cultural institutions in the U.S.

Our project uncloaks the people we have deemed the genocide gentry: the executives and board members of major weapons companies who also hold prestigious and powerful positions at our museums, cultural orgs, universities & hospitals - deeply embedded power structure undergirding institutional decisions on how to respond to the genocide in Gaza.

We found:

• Over 50 museums, cultural organizations, universities and colleges that currently host these individuals on their boards or in other prominent roles. 
• Many of the board members of weapons companies also have significant ties to the fossil fuel industry, neoliberal think tanks, and philanthropy.

Our hope is that, with this data, you can find more opportunities to organize within your communities, and chip away at the influence of the Genocide Gentry.

Visit the Genocide Gentry website to get acquainted with the players and the institutions that host them.

Onward,

LittleSis
