We demand the SU call upon Birkbeck to end all partnerships, programs and the funding of schools and research institutes sponsored by all companies involved in the development, manufacturing, distribution and financing of arms and weapons as well as associated software, technologies and data management. In 2022 Birkbeck careers service successfully cut all ties with fossil fuel companies setting precedent for such a move by the university as a whole. As of last year Birkbeck has entered into a partnership with Legal & General, whose activities are directly related not just to the Israeli occupation but to the global military industrial complex . L&G reportedly have at least £5bn invested in arms companies. No other UK investor owns as many shares in companies that are profiting from Israeli violence and war crimes against Palestinians than Legal & General
