John,

More than 10 children a day have lost one or both legs in Gaza since Israel’s onslaught began – many children have faced this deep trauma alone, without any anesthetic. It’s unimaginably horrific and only getting worse.

We have a golden opportunity to make a difference, but we have to move fast.

French insurance giant AXA continues to invest in weapons companies powering Israel’s genocide. We’ve demanded it stop financing them for years, and now we can really turn up the pressure.

AXA’s annual shareholder meeting is in days. We can be in the room representing Palestinian voices, forcing executives to face their role in the horrors unfolding and demanding they cut ties with weapons manufacturers once and for all.

But only if we buy shares *right away!*

1 share costs 40€ – if we raise enough, we can buy shares, get in the room, then keep up all our campaigning for Palestine. There’s no time to waste. Can you chip in?

Gaza has more children who’ve lost a limb than anywhere else in the world – and with Israel’s relentless bombardment and aid blocks, there’s no way to take care of them all.

AXA is helping to make it happen.

But Ekō members have been demanding AXA stop bankrolling the Israeli Apartheid since 2018. And our campaigns are working. Little by little, we’re making a difference.

First, we succeeded in getting AXA to divest from Elbit Systems, then from cutting ties with all Israeli banks that are the backbone of the illegal settlements enterprise. AXA's Israeli banks investments have dropped from $91M to $0 today! 

Now we plan to get AXA to stop financing weapons manufacturers powering Israel’s war machine. If we succeed, it will help us pressure other banks and insurers to follow suit – and send a warning to companies everywhere that it’s long past time they do the same. 

If we can buy the shares to make sure we’re in the room at the AGM, we will bring Palestinian voices with us, and show executives that AXA’s investments are not just figures, but are fueling unfathomable suffering.

Together we can push AXA to divest from weapons manufacturers – then continue fighting for people’s rights in Palestine and beyond. But we need to act right away. Can you chip in now?

Your donation will help power Ekō and our campaigns worldwide fighting for people and the planet.

Thanks for all that you do,
Yasmin and the Ekō team
