MAERSK: STOP FUELING GENOCIDE

Logistics giant Maersk has quietly shipped millions of pounds of deadly weapons and military cargo to Israel, fueling its brutal assaults in Gaza. Governments have failed to act, leaving Palestinians to be starved and slaughtered. But we won’t stand by.

We’ve filed a shareholder resolution with partners, set for a vote on March 18th calling on Maersk to enhance its human rights due diligence and stop the transfer of these deadly weapons. 

If we all follow the steps below, we’ll have the power to force Maersk to stop fueling genocide.
