Code Pink Atlanta was in attendance at the University System of Georgia’s Board of Regents meeting along with other students, alumni, and organizations. Our Georgia Universities are deeply complicit in genocide by investing in companies like Amazon that supply infrastructure to Israel and companies like Lockheed Martin and Raytheon (RTX) that supply weapons to Israel and the UAE-backed RSF in Sudan. Code Pink Atlanta demands that the USG divest from these companies complicit in genocides!
Our Georgia universities are deeply complicit in g̳e̳n̳o̳c̳i̳d̳e̳ in both Sudan and Palestine.
Please help us fill the room at the BOR meeting tomorrow May 12th to demand our public universities d̲i̲v̲e̲s̲t̲ from complicit companies.
🕑 Meet us at 8:30am to speak with the regents directly
🪑 At 9am, we'll sit silently with signs. 🪧

HAPPY MAY DAY!
This May Day and beyond, we demand what people have made clear: our tax dollars should fund healthcare, education, and meeting people’s needs, not to war, genocide, or enriching the billionaire class.

🗣️ GENERAL STRIKES WORK 🗣️
Join us May 1st for International Workers Day in solidarity for a general strike! There is long history of general strikes working, and we’ve included them here. Do not buy! Do not work! Do not go to school!
We must unite as the working class and show our fascist, greedy, warmongering government that they work for the people, not the other way around!

Atlanta! In the spirit of BDS, please join us on Tuesday May 12th to demand that the Georgia Board of Regents divest our public universities from genocide.
This is a powerful opportunity to demonstrate that Georgia demands divestment, and to apply real pressure to the regents who manage billions of dollars for our state.
We need a lot more people to show up this time. Please help us spread the word!
