On Thursday the US House of Representatives pushed forward a terrifying new law – the “Nonprofit-Killer” – that would give incoming President Trump sweeping powers to shut down nonprofits like us campaigning for Palestine. He isn’t even here yet and it’s already…bad.

Can you rush a donation for our Palestine work (more details below) – while we can still get it?

John,

In the darkness of night, Israel bombed a refugee camp right outside a hospital in central Gaza. Families fleeing violence and seeking refuge were instead met with deadly airstrikes. Several people were burnt alive, trapped in tents engulfed in flames.

This is only possible because banks like BNP Paribas, Crédit Agricole, Deutsche Bank and Barclays are pouring billions into the weapons industry, fuelling Israel’s war machine. So we’re going after ALL of them.

We have everything lined up, but to take on these big banks – and win – our team of campaigners need your help. If enough of us chip in what we can now, the team can jump into action, hiring the researchers we need to comb through reams of financial data, the legal experts who’ll be crucial in our fight to shut down Israel’s war machine, and more.

John, Israel can’t keep its war machine going without weapons. THIS is how we can help put an end to all the violence and death. Can you chip in?

Together, we just forced French insurance giant Axa to divest from Israeli banks after non-stop campaigning! So we know we can do it again, toppling each company until we take down the entire war machine. 

From BNP Paribas, the largest European financier of weapons deals with Israel, to Chevron for its shady energy deals that are fueling the occupation, we’ve fine-tuned our plan to go after key companies helping Israel’s war. We’re even going after Danish logistics company Maersk for transporting hundreds of millions worth of weapons. 

This is exactly what the Ekō community is made for – and with everyone chipping in what they can, our brilliant team could unleash sophisticated tactics on each of these corporate giants, including hard-hitting research, legal analyses and possibly even legal cases, and public pressure campaigns to put this front and center in the media.

But with Trump incoming, the US government is taking aim at this kind of work. The law just passed the House of Representatives and is on its way to the Senate. It would make way for Trump to shut down nonprofit status for groups working to support Palestine.

It is utterly shameful – but they are doing it because pressure from our community works. That’s what they’re afraid of.

We’re ready to 10x our divestment work and stop this violence, but we need to act fast as the US government gets ready to crack down. Can you chip in to take down Israel’s war machine?
