More Information about the CAT Campaign :
The Israeli government routinely uses bulldozers in its military activities and employs them to alter the facts on the ground in the occupied Palestinian territories. The result of these operations has been the destruction of vital Palestinian infrastructure, and the death of civilians. These actions are in blatant violation of the Fourth Geneva Convention and other international laws.
Caterpillar Inc., the giant equipment manufacturer based in Peoria, Illinois, sells most of these bulldozers to Israel. Because Israel is using these machines for unjust and illegal purposes, hundreds of grassroots organizations from across American are working together to demand that Caterpillar stop selling its products to the Israeli government.
We look forward to talking with you Tuesday night!
Protest at CAT Annual Shareholder Meeting a Huge Success!
Protesters gathered this year inside and outside the Annual Caterpillar Shareholder Meeting on June 13 in St. Charles, IL. Though the meeting took place in a remote location with high security, activists shut down the meeting inside and made a strong showing outside with their clarion call: 'Take Responsibility and Do the Right Thing! '
