No pride in genocide! Seattle Pride Cuts Financial Ties with Companies That Support Genocidal Apartheid!

VICTORY: Seattle Pride just cut financial ties with companies that support genocide and apartheid!

After Seattle Pride issued a statement in solidarity with the people of Palestine in June 2024, local groups Falastiniyat and Jewish Voice for Peace-Seattle campaigned for Seattle Pride to heed the call from queer Palestinians to divest from companies who support Israeli apartheid.

Specifically, we asked them to cut their partnership ties with Boeing, Expedia, and Coca-Cola: corporations that support and profit from the ongoing genocide in Gaza and the continued occupation of Palestinian land.
