Break the Bonds NJ Presentation to the ESG Committee of the State Investment Council, 2/17/2026

At the State Investment Council’s Annual meeting on 1/28/2026, the Director announced that he had reinvested $15 million out of the $20 million bond that had matured, in a new 5 year bond. While this represents an overall divestment of $5 million it is not the outcome we were fighting for. At the meeting we made our outrage heard and two of the SIC members voiced displeasure at not being consulted. That impact secured a long promised meeting with the ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) sub-committee of the SIC where three of our members delivered a very strong and impactful presentation to the Director, the entire SIC and the Division of Investment’s attorney. Please see the presentation below and follow here for updates and next steps on this campaign as we continue to make inroads and alliances towards dismantling NJ’s investment in genocide, apartheid and ethnic cleansing in Palestine.
