The Internationalist Law Center

English | Español

Join The Internationalist Law Center's Our Taxes, Our Needs Palm Beach County Campaign from July through November in various escalation points to force the world's largest investor in Israel Bonds - Palm Beach County, Florida - to divest its $1 billion dollar investment of taxpayer dollars into Israel Bonds, and instead, reinvest these funds in local needs. 

We'll be showing up to public comment, budget hearings, Palm Beach County Investment Policy Committee meetings, and legal hearings to build the people power needed for: 1) our lawsuit against the Comptroller of Palm Beach County for his investment in Israel Bonds to succeed and 2) To pause a 67.5 million dollar re-investment of taxpayer dollars in Israel Bonds on November 1, 2026, and instead, have these funds be placed in a public trust funding local needs as decided by Palm Beach County constituents. 

Please see all upcoming escalation points listed below. The date highlighted in yellow is our national priority mobilization—this means that we are looking for organizations outside of Florida to prioritize attending this date. We do not need national organizations to attend events that aren't highlighted in yellow. You will see at the end of each event description a note stating how many people have signed up for an event, as well as our goal number for each event. Sign-up numbers will be updated weekly. If you see higher numbers for one date, please prioritize signing up for a date with less sign-ups.

Specific logistics including travel/lodging assistance, and comment submission portals what to expect will be sent via email upon sign-up for each event
