Divest Terror Mission Statement

Do you own stock in companies that do business with state sponsors of terrorism?

Throughout our history, Americans have risen to the challenge of defending our country and our liberty. Following the 9/11 attacks, however, many felt powerless to respond to the tragic attacks in New York and Washington, DC. Powerless to express meaningfully their outrage. Powerless to help defeat terrorism. What we did not realize — until now — was that each and every one of us actually can play a pivotal role in winning the War on Terror. How? By demanding that our public and private pensions plans, college endowments, individual retirement account managers, 401(k) plans, and other investment vehicles exploit the leverage represented by investments in publicly traded companies that operate in terrorist-sponsoring states. In a unified front, we should make the pledge that “This is my money and it will not go to support terror.” DivestTerror.org is a nationwide campaign aimed at some 400 public companies worldwide that are providing revenues, technology and moral cover to governments that sponsor terrorism.

The primary objective of this campaign is to force governments to choose between their sponsorship of terrorism and critical partnerships with publicly traded firms. To illustrate how such a campaign can achieve this objective, please review our synopsis of the South African model of the 1980’s that succeeded in ending apartheid. DivestTerror.org provides the empirical analysis and architecture that can enable such a campaign. Its success, however, can be assured only if you and other Americans enlist in our campaign to divest from terrorism. Doing so will allow each and every one of us to help wage the war on Terror by opening new divestment fronts through our universities, local communities and states, individual retirement accounts, churches and unions.

DivestTerror.org provides the tools. Now, patriotic Americans can once again do their part to counter the threat facing our country. Join us and help ensure that terrorist organizations – and those that sponsor them – will not continue to flourish with our money.
