Held during the week of the Carnation Revolution’s 50th anniversary, the event will include a post-screening discussion with a woman active in Portugal’s grassroots movement, drawing connections between anti-colonial struggles in Portugal and Palestine.

Recent investigations have exposed the extent to which the Israeli military is relying on services provided by Google, Microsoft, and Amazon to conduct its onslaught on Gaza. It’s becoming increasingly clear that the world’s most powerful private U.S. technology companies are complicit in genocide by enabling the Israeli military to manage and analyze vast amounts of data that influence critical operations. These investigations come amidst growing protests by cloud company employees who fear that the technology they developed has helped Israel commit war crimes.

For investors, the revelations about Google, Amazon, and Microsoft also raise urgent ethical questions — but divesting isn’t always simple. As some of the most widely held and influential companies in the market, Google, Amazon, and Microsoft are embedded in index funds, retirement accounts, and endowments. For many values-aligned investors, walking away entirely may not be feasible — making shareholder engagement not just an option, but a necessary strategy for accountability.

The Divest4Pal Working Group is hosting a critical conversation on Wednesday, May 7, at 9 am PT / 12 pm ET for shareholders who hold, or may be exposed to, Google, Amazon, or Microsoft and want to understand how to take action from within.

Whether you’re managing a retirement account, part of a foundation or donor network, or advising others on their investments, this session will help make sense of what’s unfolding in the tech sector and explore ways to respond meaningfully as a shareholder. Speakers will break down recent findings about the complicity of these tech giants, explore how companies like them often evade deep scrutiny in the socially responsible investment community, and introduce the broader trend of “new age militarism” — where corporate technology quietly fuels war, genocide, and authoritarianism. The event will feature the following speakers: 

• Leena Barakat (Moderator), Executive Director of Women Donors Network

• Suhad Babaa, Executive Director of Just Vision and Co-Publisher of Local Call 

• Dov Baum, Director of the Action Center for Corporate Accountability at the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC)

• Nadim Nashif, Executive Director and Co-Founder of 7amleh: The Arab Center for the Advancement of Social Media

• Marcela Pinilla, Director of Sustainable Investing at Zevin Asset Management

This conversation is sponsored by Divest4Pal, Racial Justice Investing, Resource Generation, Women Donors Network, Solidaire Action and Funders4Palestine.

Join Just Vision for a special virtual screening and discussion of its documentary Naila and the Uprising, which chronicles the role of women in Palestinian resistance during the First Intifada. Through the remarkable story of Naila Ayesh and the clandestine network of women who led the largest nonviolent mobilization in Palestinian history, the film sheds light on the impact of women’s leadership in movements for justice. At a time when Palestinian women are once again at the forefront—organizing mutual aid, sustaining their communities, and leading resistance efforts amid a genocide in Gaza—this conversation will explore their continued struggle and resilience.

The event will take place on Thursday, March 27, from 10:00 – 11:00 AM ET.

Earlier this month, a +972 Magazine/Local Call investigation revealed that the Israeli military is using an AI machine called “Lavender” to identify human targets with little to no oversight, intentionally bombing them in their homes alongside civilians. The White House noted that it was examining the contents of the investigation, and UN Secretary-General António Guterres expressed that he was “deeply troubled” by the report, adding “No part of life and death decisions which impact entire families should be delegated to the cold calculation of algorithms.” Revelations such as these are fueling global efforts to halt arms transfers and condition military aid to Israel, with pressure particularly mounting on the U.S. and German governments, which are estimated to supply around 99 percent of the arms imported by Israel.

Gaza is the deadliest place to be a journalist today. More than 75% of journalists killed worldwide in 2023 died during Israel’s assault on Gaza. The Committee to Protect Journalists has expressed concern about the Israeli military’s “apparent pattern of targeting journalists,” and the silencing of Palestinian journalists is not limited to Gaza. In the West Bank, Israel’s jailing of Palestinian journalists has reached an all-time high, tying it with Iran as the sixth worst jailer of journalists globally. 

Join us on Wednesday, Feb. 28, 1:00-2:00 p.m. ET, to hear about the latest efforts to hold the Israeli government accountable for its assault on journalists, to consider how this lethal environment for journalists is impacting our ability to understand what’s happening on the ground, and to examine what it says about the future of covering conflict zones safely. We will also discuss the challenges that journalists outside of Gaza are facing as they seek to cover the war accurately and ethically, whether based in the U.S. or within Israel itself.

Our speakers include: 

• Fadi Abu Shammalah, a Palestinian journalist from Gaza who was recently evacuated with his family to the U.S. via Egypt, and who still has colleagues trying to report what is happening on the ground as Israel closes in on Rafah. He also serves as a Just Vision outreach associate. You can read more about Fadi’s experience in this New York Times op-ed.
