1) NEED AN APOLOGY from Israel and its backers for lies about what happened
7 October (and it is not just the lie aboutt beheaded babies but more
seriously about who bombed Israeli houses and cars killing civilians) and
the genocide that folowed and still ongoing. Here are some of the lies
(taken from ongaza.org):
-IDF lookouts threatened with court martial after early worning about Hamas

Part Two

All the issues remain on the table despite more than two decades of ignoring, stalling, denying, and lying. Where is university compliance and integrity? Nowhere to be found on the ground, across campus, and the adjacent University District where most students live, or in the lives and well-being of present and former students.

On campus, faculty sexual abuse of students goes almost universally unpunished. In rare cases, OSU waits until the offender retires, and then strips them of their honorary “emeritus” title. For decades, OSU ignores or buries almost all reports of scientific misconduct especially in the Medical Center. There is a documented history of efforts to fire whistleblowers. Those with resources to fight back often win. Younger researchers without tenure, especially women, have their academic careers end. (See m “The enterprise of scientific misconduct: Malpractice at Ohio State University”)

Costco has a credit card partnership with one of the dirtiest banks in the world, Citibank.  Citi makes a lot of money from its relationship with Costco – and banks care about money.  That's why Costco has the power to either persuade Citi to stop financing fossil fuel expansion or switch to a better credit card company that isn't wrecking the planet.  If Costco threatens to move to a fossil-free credit card provider, Citi can be motivated to clean up its act.

Costco has already made important commitments to having climate-friendly operations, and Costco cares about what its members and potential new shoppers think.  If we come together, we can hold Costco accountable, put pressure on them to drop Citi, and push Citi to stop financing fossil fuels.
