Our Campaigns
Divest for AR future
Little Rock Peace for Palestine is launching a statewide divestment campaign of Israel Bonds for the 2025 Legislative Session. This is part of a global strategy of nations, cities, universities, and faith communities to build economic and political pressure as a meaningful contribution to the Palestinian struggle to dismantle Israel’s apartheid regime. Currently, Arkansas' Treasury is holding $57 million in Israeli bonds. With $10 million purchased in October 2023. Arkansans deserve better. We deserve $57 million here at home for quality education, responsible business investment, and beneficial social programs. We will take on the Arkansas Legislature in January to fight for our future.
