The first bullet point reads: "Did you know that your New York tax money is funding Israel’s genocide, occupation, and oppression of Palestinians?" The second bullet point reads: "Did you know that the New York State Common Retirement Fund has over $340 million invested in Israel Bonds?" The third bullet point reads: "Did you know that the Israel Bonds are loans that go directly into the Israeli Treasury and war chest with no guardrails?" The fourth bullet point reads: "Did you know there is a statewide coalition aiming to divest this money" Underneath that in bold yellow letters in all capitals it says "Stay Tuned To Get Involved..."
