Friend, Now, more than ever, is the time to break ties with Koch cash and name the Koch network for what they are: anti-democracy profiteers who place profit over the well being of people and the planet. Large corporations from Starbucks to VISA, Amazon, Ikea, and more are ceasing business in Russia following the country’s invasion of Ukraine. In fact, over 400 companies have withdrawn from Russia. However, Koch Industries has released a public statement that they are staying put in Russia, where it has multiple subsidiaries. Despite a speech from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to Congress urging global businesses to exit Russia, Koch Industries remains steadfast. This latest decision is just one more example in a larger pattern of Koch Industries and the larger Koch network placing a corporate agenda and profit over the common good. Anyone who continues to align themselves with the Koch network and accept donations becomes complicit in this dangerous and harmful wake. Join us in urging Koch-funded politicians and schools to divest immediately and refuse to accept any more Koch cash! |

In Solidarity, The Team at UnKoch My Campus |

UnKoch My Campus is a project dedicated to disrupting corporate influence on campuses nationwide by equipping campus activists with education, skills, and ecosystems of solidarity. The Koch network is leveraging its donations to colleges and universities to bolster its corporate agenda to halt action on climate change, put hundreds of thousands of people in prison, deny millions of people healthcare, and strip rights and wages from workers globally. We're building a mass movement of young people who are dedicated to disrupting this harm. |
