In case you're unfamiliar, the idea is to use whatever clout we have, <br>
through voluntary action and capital markets, to slow down the "military <br>
industrial complex" : to get individuals and especially institutions <br>
like banks and schools to voluntarily pull their money out of military <br>
contractors that profit from (and lobby for) unnecessary war.<br>
<br>
I gotta say, to me, this seems right up our alley. Why would we not want <br>
to lend our name to this?<br>
<br>
Anyhow, I've never tried to do anything like this. If you have advice <br>
I'm all ears. Should I do a written resolution? Do I have to specify <br>
implementation (presumably the actually reaching out would fall on the LNC)?<br>
<br>
Or any general thoughts, thanks.<br>
