As Israel’s U.S.-backed genocide campaign continues to devastate Gaza and deliberately starve its people, companies like Trader Joe’s continue to stock Israeli products. In doing so, Trader Joe’s supports a system that perpetuates suffering. We must apply pressure on Israel to stop this genocide on every front possible — that includes financial pressure! The only just solution is for Trader Joe’s to stop working with Israel.
Trader Joe’s job is to feed people, so Israel starving Palestinians in Gaza should raise enough concern for them to stop carrying their products — but that’s not the case. Maybe Trader Joe’s executives don’t understand the gravity of this business practice, or how it moves Trader Joe’s away from its mission of “maintaining safe and inviting neighborhood stores,” so we’re going to teach them.
Send a letter to Trader Joe’s to request they meet with us by June 18 for a teach-in on the harmful impact of stocking Israeli products!
