Campaigners building pressure on councils to end pension fund ties to arms companies

CAMPAIGNERS across Britain are stepping up pressure on councils to end ties with weapons companies that are complicit in “Israel’s apartheid” through their pensions schemes.
Lewisham residents and activists will hold a rally outside Lewisham Town Hall on Wednesday October 2, as councillors hold their regular meeting.
The rally will demand that the council disclose and divest the pension scheme it manages away from arms manufacturers.
