Tell Cuyahoga County Council - No More Money for Genocide!

Sign the Petition: bit.ly/cccbreakthebonds

Cuyahoga County is one of the largest investors in Israel Bonds in the United States, with a $16 million portfolio. This investment stands out as it is the only instance where local tax dollars are directly allocated to a foreign government. These funds could otherwise be utilized for significant local improvements, such as health, education, housing, food security, and environmental initiatives in Greater Cleveland. If you live in Cuyahoga County, sign this petition!
