Citibank: Stop Propping Up Apartheid and Genocide

Citibank proudly "boasts the largest presence of any foreign financial institution in Israel," Indiana

As salaamu alaykum, Indiana—

My name is Serena. I'm an MPower Change member and I believe that we can do more to pressure corporations, specifically banks, to stop being complicit in the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.

That's why I am writing you today to ask for your help to reach Citibank with an urgent call: 

Demand Citibank use their considerable investments in Israel to call for a permanent #Ceasefire in Gaza.

Especially if you are a Citi customer, Indiana.

We need 10,000 people to tweet, call and email Citibank today. Can we count on you?

Today, we are witnessing an active genocide in Gaza; it is a crisis of horrific magnitude, with over 15,000 killed in retaliatory assaults by Israel. 

At this moment, as Israel "pauses" but does not cease its genocidal assault on Gaza, the Citibank website notes that they "[boast] the largest presence of any foreign financial institution in Israel."¹  

Let's remind them that propping up apartheid and genocide is nothing to boast about.

I made a TikTok about this that reached hundreds of thousands. If just a fraction of those people took action we could gain serious traction, fast. 

That's why I'm emailing MPower Change members like you.

Indiana: Join me in calling on Citibank to use their considerable lobbying power to call for a ceasefire and to let Gaza live.

Millions of people across the country are demanding a ceasefire in Gaza and calling for freedom in Palestine. 

We are gaining traction in Congress with Rashida Tlaib and Cori Bush's leadership, and we are on the streets every day, and in the halls of Congress nearly every day. 

It's time to pressure the financial institutions that are silent partners in Israel's horrific violence against Palestinians.

Thank you for all you do.

In solidarity, 

Serena, Linda, Granate, and the team at MPower Change
