Providence Voters Approve Israel Divestment Measure With 75 Percent Support

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND — Providence voters overwhelmingly approved a ballot measure requiring the city to avoid investments connected to countries profiting from what the measure describes as genocide, apartheid, ethnic cleansing or prolonged military occupation, making Providence the second U.S. city to adopt an Israel-divestment policy by popular vote. The measure passed with roughly 75% support, according to The Guardian . Organizers said the campaign was designed to force divestment from companies and financial instruments connected to Israel, including investments they argue contribute to the war in Gaza and the occupation of Palestinian territories. Providence for Palestine began with about 40 volunteers and eventually built a much larger field operation. The coalition collected more than 10,000 signatures, knocked on roughly 17,000 doors, made 18,000 phone calls and said it spoke with tens of thousands of residents before Election Day. ( theguardian.com ) (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Organizers included local chapters of Jewish Voice for Peace, Democratic Socialists of America, the American Federation of Teachers and American Muslims for Palestine. The result follows a similar divestment vote in Somerville, Massachusetts, and comes as public opinion toward Israel’s conduct in Gaza has become more critical. An

Letter to the editor: Regarding the proposed development on North Main

I am writing to express dismay at the approval of the vapid, cookie-cutter building proposed for North Main. This building is a boring clone of the other Kleenex box structures sprouting all over Providence. There is absolutely nothing attractive about it — the developers couldn’t even be bothered to pretend to have trees or a relationship with the sidewalk and pedestrians. People are already complaining about the impact on parking, but North Main needs and can easily accommodate more density, especially if it would take advantage of its location to serve multiple transportation modes such as the train and bus station. It’s wide enough for large trees, it has space for local and even small chain stores (Marshalls or TJ Maxx, for example, which exist now only in the suburbs!), it could have wider sidewalks and a dedicated bike lane — and on and on. Despite the acres of frequently empty parking lots, moreover, the west side of the street has a prime location above the Moshassuck River. If you look at the satellite map of the area, that side is totally bereft of any amenities, while the east side has shade, trees, and a variety of different building types.
