Providence Built a Winning Movement to Divest From Israel

The midterm elections saw progressive, pro-Palestine candidates sweep into office across the country on the back of public outrage at Israel's ongoing genocide in Gaza. These victories should help reshape the conversation around Israel in Washington, reflecting the shifts in American public opinion against Israel that have acutely developed over the past three years. But that shift can be seen in other ways beyond electoral victories — like the passage of a binding ordinance last Tuesday in Providence, Rhode Island, divesting from Israel and other entities complicit in "ethnic cleansing, apartheid, illegal military occupation, or genocide." The measure, which was listed on the ballot as Question 7, makes Providence the largest US city to divest from Israel and the first to enact a divestment law through popular vote.
