DePaul Divests is an initiative of Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) at DePaul University. We are a coalition of DePaul students, faculty, and staff who oppose Israeli human rights violations in Palestine. We call on DePaul University to stand by its Vincentian values, as it has done in the past, and divest from corporations that profit from the Israeli occupation of Palestine.

"It is time for us, en masse, to show up in front of our conscience, and sit down in the front of the only bus we have: our very lives. What would that look like, be like, today, in this situation between Palestine and Israel?...It would be to support Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) against Israel to End the Occupation of Gaza and the West Bank and by this effort begin to soothe the pain and attend the sorrows of a people wrongly treated for generations."
