The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) voted to implement an investment screen restricting church investments in corporations that profit from human rights abuses, including those against Palestinians. In doing so, they join eight other denominations that have economically aligned their actions with their principles.

We congratulate Isaiah 58, a group of concerned ELCA members who support justice for Palestinians and were the driving force behind this motion. We look forward to working with them and other allies to continue to align our faith with our actions. In addition to this investment screen, the ECLA voted to ask the U.S. government to end aid to Israel until it ceases all settlement creation.
