WIDELY! Sorry for the off-day - but since its summer, we want to make
sure we have things to email about. In the fall, we'll be back on the
bi-weekly schedule.

The calendar is now online! Check it out at the Philly BDS Coalition's

Next Tuesday financial giant TIAA-CREF is holding its annual
shareholder meeting, but it refuses to talk about its investments in
companies such as Caterpillar, Veolia, and Elbit--companies that
demolish homes, confiscate land, and contribute to settlement
expansion in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. TIAA-CREF is already
trying to dodge protests by moving the annual meeting from New York
City to Charlotte, North Carolina. Together with activists in cities
across the country, we can show TIAA-CREF that they can't get away
with it. We need a strong presence to make an impact, and the annual
meeting is less than a week away.
