Hello council,
This email is to urge the council to adopt a resolution affirming that
the City shall refrain from investing funds (including all city
investment accounts, pension, endowment and annuity funds) and
conducting business with any private person, corporation, institution
or other entity that commits, supports, sustains or materially
benefits from human rights violations such as, but not limited to,
systemic discrimination, apartheid, ethnic cleansing, and/or genocide
as defined by the United Nations.
Second, we call on the council to fully disclose all publicly funded
investments as well as all suppliers, vendors and contractors that the
City conducts business with. The purpose of this request is to provide
full transparency in all business dealings being carried out by the
council to ensure their actions reflect the moral and ethical values
of the residents they serve. And the residents of this district value
human rights, self-determination and non-discrimination over corporate
greed and war profiteering.
Additionally, the people of this city demand that you divest from all
institutions benefitting, monetarily supporting, or profiteering from
the Military Industrial Complex and the ongoing genocides happening
all over the world. Your residents will not be complicit in the ethnic
cleansing and genocide of people in Palestine, Congo, Sudan, Tigray,
Algeria, Myanmar or any other country currently at risk of genocide.
As a reminder, the organization chart of this city begins with the
residents. We are calling on you all to affirm your commitment to
human rights, disclose financial information related to publicly
funded city business, and move to divest from any financial dealings
that do not uphold the commitment to human rights and dignity for all.
It is the demand of the people that the divestment process begins as
soon as possible and funds are reinvested into our community.
In Solidarity with Humanity,
M. Christian Harrison

Hello council,
This email is to urge the council to adopt a resolution affirming that the City shall refrain from investing funds
(including all city investment accounts, pension, endowment and annuity funds) and conducting business with any
private person, corporation, institution or other entity that commits, supports, sustains or materially benefits from
human rights violations such as, but not limited to, systemic discrimination, apartheid, ethnic cleansing, and/or
genocide as defined by the United Nations.
Second, we call on the council to fully disclose all publicly funded investments as well as all suppliers, vendors and
contractors that the City conducts business with. The purpose of this request is to provide full transparency in all
business dealings being carried out by the council to ensure their actions reflect the moral and ethical values of the
residents they serve. And the residents of this district value human rights, self-determination and non-discrimination
over corporate greed and war profiteering.
Additionally, the people of this city demand that you divest from all institutions benefitting, monetarily supporting,
or profiteering from the Military Industrial Complex and the ongoing genocides happening all over the world. Your
residents will not be complicit in the ethnic cleansing and genocide of people in Palestine, Congo, Sudan, Tigray,
Algeria, Myanmar or any other country currently at risk of genocide.
As a reminder, the organization chart of this city begins with the residents. We are calling on you all to affirm your
commitment to human rights, disclose financial information related to publicly funded city business, and move to
divest from any financial dealings that do not uphold the commitment to human rights and dignity for all. It is the
demand of the people that the divestment process begins as soon as possible and funds are reinvested into our
community.

Hello council,
This email is to urge the council to adopt a resolution affirming that the City shall refrain from
investing funds (including all city investment accounts, pension, endowment and annuity
funds) and conducting business with any private person, corporation, institution or other entity
that commits, supports, sustains or materially benefits from human rights violations such as,
but not limited to, systemic discrimination, apartheid, ethnic cleansing, and/or genocide as
defined by the United Nations.
Second, we call on the council to fully disclose all publicly funded investments as well as all
suppliers, vendors and contractors that the City conducts business with.
The purpose of this request is to provide full transparency in all business dealings being
carried out by the council to ensure their actions reflect the moral and ethical values of the
residents they serve.
The residents of this district value human rights, self-determination and non-discrimination
over corporate greed and war profiteering.
Additionally, the people of this city demand that you divest from all institutions benefitting,
monetarily supporting, or profiteering from the Military Industrial Complex and the ongoing
genocides happening all over the world.
Your residents will not be complicit in the ethnic cleansing and genocide of people in
Palestine, Congo, Sudan, Tigray, Algeria, Myanmar or any other country currently at risk of
genocide.
As a reminder, the organization chart of this city begins with the residents. We are calling on
you all to affirm your commitment to human rights, disclose financial information related to

Hello council,
This email is to urge the council to adopt a resolution affirming that the City shall refrain from investing funds
(including all city investment accounts, pension, endowment and annuity funds) and conducting business with any
private person, corporation, institution or other entity that commits, supports, sustains or materially benefits from
human rights violations such as, but not limited to, systemic discrimination, apartheid, ethnic cleansing, and/or
genocide as defined by the United Nations.
Second, we call on the council to fully disclose all publicly funded investments as well as all suppliers, vendors and
contractors that the City conducts business with. The purpose of this request is to provide full transparency in all
business dealings being carried out by the council to ensure their actions reflect the moral and ethical values of the
residents they serve. And the residents of this district value human rights, self-determination and non-discrimination
over corporate greed and war profiteering.
Additionally, the people of this city demand that you divest from all institutions benefitting, monetarily supporting,
or profiteering from the Military Industrial Complex and the ongoing genocides happening all over the world. Your
residents will not be complicit in the ethnic cleansing and genocide of people in Palestine, Congo, Sudan, Tigray,
Algeria, Myanmar or any other country currently at risk of genocide.
As a reminder, the organization chart of this city begins with the residents. We are calling on you all to affirm your
commitment to human rights, disclose financial information related to publicly funded city business, and move to
divest from any financial dealings that do not uphold the commitment to human rights and dignity for all. It is the
demand of the people that the divestment process begins as soon as possible and funds are reinvested into our

Hello council,
This email is to urge the council to adopt a resolution affirming that the City shall refrain from investing funds
(including all city investment accounts, pension, endowment and annuity funds) and conducting business with any
private person, corporation, institution or other entity that commits, supports, sustains or materially benefits from
human rights violations such as, but not limited to, systemic discrimination, apartheid, ethnic cleansing, and/or
genocide as defined by the United Nations.
Second, we call on the council to fully disclose all publicly funded investments as well as all suppliers, vendors and
contractors that the City conducts business with. The purpose of this request is to provide full transparency in all
business dealings being carried out by the council to ensure their actions reflect the moral and ethical values of the
residents they serve. And the residents of this district value human rights, self-determination and non-discrimination
over corporate greed and war profiteering.
Additionally, the people of this city demand that you divest from all institutions benefitting, monetarily supporting,
or profiteering from the Military Industrial Complex and the ongoing genocides happening all over the world. Your
residents will not be complicit in the ethnic cleansing and genocide of people in Palestine, Congo, Sudan, Tigray,
Algeria, Myanmar or any other country currently at risk of genocide.
As a reminder, the organization chart of this city begins with the residents. We are calling on you all to affirm your
commitment to human rights, disclose financial information related to publicly funded city business, and move to
divest from any financial dealings that do not uphold the commitment to human rights and dignity for all. It is the
demand of the people that the divestment process begins as soon as possible and funds are reinvested into our
community.

Hello council,
This email is to urge the council to adopt a resolution affirming that the City shall refrain from investing funds
(including all city investment accounts, pension, endowment and annuity funds) and conducting business with any
private person, corporation, institution or other entity that commits, supports, sustains or materially benefits from
human rights violations such as, but not limited to, systemic discrimination, apartheid, ethnic cleansing, and/or
genocide as defined by the United Nations.
Second, we call on the council to fully disclose all publicly funded investments as well as all suppliers, vendors and
contractors that the City conducts business with. The purpose of this request is to provide full transparency in all
business dealings being carried out by the council to ensure their actions reflect the moral and ethical values of the
residents they serve. And the residents of this district value human rights, self-determination and non-discrimination
over corporate greed and war profiteering.
Additionally, the people of this city demand that you divest from all institutions benefitting, monetarily supporting,
or profiteering from the Military Industrial Complex and the ongoing genocides happening all over the world. Your
residents will not be complicit in the ethnic cleansing and genocide of people in Palestine, Congo, Sudan, Tigray,
Algeria, Myanmar or any other country currently at risk of genocide.
As a reminder, the organization chart of this city begins with the residents. We are calling on you all to affirm your
commitment to human rights, disclose financial information related to publicly funded city business, and move to
divest from any financial dealings that do not uphold the commitment to human rights and dignity for all. It is the
demand of the people that the divestment process begins as soon as possible and funds are reinvested into our
community.

Hello council,
This email is to urge the council to adopt a resolution affirming that the City shall refrain from investing funds
(including all city investment accounts, pension, endowment and annuity funds) and conducting business with any
private person, corporation, institution or other entity that commits, supports, sustains or materially benefits from
human rights violations such as, but not limited to, systemic discrimination, apartheid, ethnic cleansing, and/or
genocide as defined by the United Nations.
Second, we call on the council to fully disclose all publicly funded investments as well as all suppliers, vendors and
contractors that the City conducts business with. The purpose of this request is to provide full transparency in all
business dealings being carried out by the council to ensure their actions reflect the moral and ethical values of the
residents they serve. And the residents of this district value human rights, self-determination and non-discrimination
over corporate greed and war profiteering.
Additionally, the people of this city demand that you divest from all institutions benefitting, monetarily supporting,
or profiteering from the Military Industrial Complex and the ongoing genocides happening all over the world. Your
residents will not be complicit in the ethnic cleansing and genocide of people in Palestine, Congo, Sudan, Tigray,
Algeria, Myanmar or any other country currently at risk of genocide.
As a reminder, the organization chart of this city begins with the residents. We are calling on you all to affirm your
commitment to human rights, disclose financial information related to publicly funded city business, and move to
divest from any financial dealings that do not uphold the commitment to human rights and dignity for all. It is the
demand of the people that the divestment process begins as soon as possible and funds are reinvested into our
community.

human rights violations such as, but not limited to, systemic discrimination, apartheid, ethnic cleansing, and/or
genocide as defined by the United Nations.
Second, we call on the council to fully disclose all publicly funded investments as well as all suppliers, vendors and
contractors that the City conducts business with. The purpose of this request is to provide full transparency in all
business dealings being carried out by the council to ensure their actions reflect the moral and ethical values of the
residents they serve. And the residents of this district value human rights, self-determination and non-discrimination
over corporate greed and war profiteering.
Additionally, the people of this city demand that you divest from all institutions benefitting, monetarily supporting,
or profiteering from the Military Industrial Complex and the ongoing genocides happening all over the world. Your
residents will not be complicit in the ethnic cleansing and genocide of people in Palestine, Congo, Sudan, Tigray,
Algeria, Myanmar or any other country currently at risk of genocide.
As a reminder, the organization chart of this city begins with the residents. We are calling on you all to affirm your
commitment to human rights, disclose financial information related to publicly funded city business, and move to
divest from any financial dealings that do not uphold the commitment to human rights and dignity for all. It is the
demand of the people that the divestment process begins as soon as possible and funds are reinvested into our
community.

Second, we call on the council to fully disclose all publicly funded investments as well as all suppliers, vendors and
contractors that the City conducts business with. The purpose of this request is to provide full transparency in all
business dealings being carried out by the council to ensure their actions reflect the moral and ethical values of the
residents they serve. And the residents of this district value human rights, self-determination and non-discrimination
over corporate greed and war profiteering.
Additionally, the people of this city demand that you divest from all institutions benefitting, monetarily supporting,
or profiteering from the Military Industrial Complex and the ongoing genocides happening all over the world. Your
residents will not be complicit in the ethnic cleansing and genocide of people in Palestine, Congo, Sudan, Tigray,
Algeria, Myanmar or any other country currently at risk of genocide.
As a reminder, the organization chart of this city begins with the residents. We are calling on you all to affirm your
commitment to human rights, disclose financial information related to publicly funded city business, and move to
divest from any financial dealings that do not uphold the commitment to human rights and dignity for all. It is the
demand of the people that the divestment process begins as soon as possible and funds are reinvested into our
community.

Additionally, the people of this city demand that you divest from all institutions benefitting, monetarily supporting,
or profiteering from the Military Industrial Complex and the ongoing genocides happening all over the world. Your
residents will not be complicit in the ethnic cleansing and genocide of people in Palestine, Congo, Sudan, Tigray,
Algeria, Myanmar or any other country currently at risk of genocide.
As a reminder, the organization chart of this city begins with the residents. We are calling on you all to affirm your
commitment to human rights, disclose financial information related to publicly funded city business, and move to
divest from any financial dealings that do not uphold the commitment to human rights and dignity for all. It is the
demand of the people that the divestment process begins as soon as possible and funds are reinvested into our
community.

Hello council,
This email is to urge the council to adopt a resolution affirming that the City shall refrain from investing funds

As a reminder, the organization chart of this city begins with the residents. We are calling on you all to affirm your
commitment to human rights, disclose financial information related to publicly funded city business, and move to
divest from any financial dealings that do not uphold the commitment to human rights and dignity for all. It is the
demand of the people that the divestment process begins as soon as possible and funds are reinvested into our
community.

Hello council,
This email is to urge the council to adopt a resolution affirming that the City shall refrain from investing funds
(including all city investment accounts, pension, endowment and annuity funds) and conducting business with any
private person, corporation, institution or other entity that commits, supports, sustains or materially benefits from
human rights violations such as, but not limited to, systemic discrimination, apartheid, ethnic cleansing, and/or
genocide as defined by the United Nations.
Second, we call on the council to fully disclose all publicly funded investments as well as all suppliers, vendors and
contractors that the City conducts business with. The purpose of this request is to provide full transparency in all
business dealings being carried out by the council to ensure their actions reflect the moral and ethical values of the
residents they serve. And the residents of this district value human rights, self-determination and non-discrimination
over corporate greed and war profiteering.
Additionally, the people of this city demand that you divest from all institutions benefitting, monetarily supporting,
or profiteering from the Military Industrial Complex and the ongoing genocides happening all over the world. Your
residents will not be complicit in the ethnic cleansing and genocide of people in Palestine, Congo, Sudan, Tigray,
Algeria, Myanmar or any other country currently at risk of genocide.
