Divest from Genocide. City worker pensions out of Israel

Attention NYCERS Members

The retirement savings of everyday New Yorkers are being used to fund the ongoing violence in Palestine.

NYCERS, the largest of NYC’s five public pension systems, holds an estimated $144 million in Israeli securities, including:

  • $8 million in Israel Bonds
  • $88 million in tech, most notably cybersecurity and surveillance
  • $1 million in oil production
  • $2 million in chemical manufacturing
  • $500,000 in Elbit Systems, Israel’s largest arms producer
