11 February is the date of the next East Sussex County Council meeting. We hope you can join us to: Demand that the East Sussex Pension Fund divests from companies complicit in Israeli apartheid and war crimes. While pension funds are divesting from companies complicit in Israeli war crimes, the East Sussex Pension Fund has INCREASED its investments.

There are also companies that supply the Israeli military such as BAE Systems, Thales, Ultra and Rolls Royce. Article about the East Sussex Pension Fund by Eastbourne PSC.
