John – the US is on the verge of passing 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 in office yet and it’s already getting bad. We need an urgent influx of cash now, while we know we can still get it!

Banks like BNP Paribas, Citi, Deutsche 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 if this law gets passed, it’s all at risk. So to take on these giants – and win – we need to raise enough ASAP for everything from researchers to comb through reams of financial data to legal experts who’ll be crucial in our fight to dismantle Israel’s war machine.

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. And THIS is why they’re trying to stop us. Can you chip in to do this work while we still can?

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?
