Dear,
We have 24 hours before the leadership of TIAA-CREF, one of the largest retirement funds in the world, holds its annual meeting in New York City. We will be there, asking TIAA-CREF to divest from companies such as Veolia, a French company that owns and operates a landfill in the West Bank. This landfill uses captured Palestinian natural and land resources to process the trash that comes from the illegal Jewish-only settlements.
Last Thursday we asked your help to get 10,000 signatures for this meeting; by Monday morning we had exceeded 12,000! We’ve doubled our numbers in the last 4 days.
You are already one of our 12,000 campaign supporters. Can you ask your friends to join you?
Can you help us get 15,000 signatures for divestment in the next 24 hours? 
TIAA-CREF is a large fund. As of last March it had invested over 19 million dollars in Veolia
alone. The fund’s leadership needs to hear your voice: no more profiting from the Israeli occupation!
Thanks,
