Happening now: outside the IL State Board of Investments meeting in downtown Chicago, activists are rallying against ISBI Treasurer & Vice Chair Michael Frerichs.

Frerichs is responsible for increasing the state's investment portfolio in war weapons manufacturers like Boeing and Lockheed Martin.

Anti-War Committee Chicago had an action-packed first year in our fight against the genocide of the Palestinian people by the Zionist Israeli regime. Starting with our first meeting in February 2024, we helped organize the Coalition to March on the DNC, and launched a state-wide divestment campaign.
