The city of Portland recognizes the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza and seeks to avoid economically supporting this crisis through the city's financial investments.
The city council urges that the city manager divest the city of Portland from all entities complicit in the current and ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza and occupation of Palestine.
Portland becomes the first city on the U.S. East Coast to proactively divest funds from organizations complicit in Israel's actions in Gaza.
Sponsored by the Maine Coalition for Palestine and Jewish Voices for Peace, the resolution includes a divestment list featuring over 85 companies, highlighting broad economic implications.
