Citibank Gaza
UPDATE: April 24, 2024
Since October 2023, Citi has supported Israel’s war machine by financing a $500 million bond to Israel and billions of dollars in bonds to war profiteers Lockheed Martin and Raytheon.
It’s time to cut ties with the financial institutions that are silent partners in Israel’s horrific violence against Palestinians.
It's time to cut up your Citi credit card and let Citi know why. (If you don't have a credit card please sign the petition.)
We need a permanent ceasefire and an end to the genocide in Gaza.
Citibank "boasts the largest presence of any foreign financial institution in Israel."1
During a time of apartheid and genocide – that's nothing to brag about.
Citibank is deeply invested in Israel’s infrastructure as the largest U.S. banking institution in the country, especially in its role of investing heavily in Israel's tech sector (known for its surveillance focus).
Citibank has also actively facilitated billions in Israeli military weapon funding, helping to power the infrastructure that keeps apartheid running financially.2
Join us in sending a strong message to Citibank. Remind them that we have choices when it comes to banking.
