Dear Frank,

After more than 9 years of struggling for justice for their daughter, Cindy and
Craig Corrie are in Haifa awaiting the verdict of their civil lawsuit against
the Israeli Ministry of Defense and State. The Corries are seeking long-overdue
transparency and accountability for Rachel's 2003 murder with a weaponized
Caterpillar bulldozer as she attempted to prevent the demolition of a
Palestinian family's home in Rafah, Gaza.
Cindy, Craig, and the Rachel Corrie Foundation for Peace and Justice (RCF) are
asking you to stand with them as the verdict is announced next Tuesday, on the
morning of August 28th in the following ways:

this Sunday, August 26th and Sunday, September 2nd, deliver letters to
TIAA-CREF offices
<http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=Git6zY12xdmNOySdEVB5Nmy%2BSK%2FOlv00>
, and remember Rachel as you do. Honoring Rachel includes ending corporate
profiteering from Israel's occupation and home demolition policies and
supporting efforts like the We Divest Campaign to pressure investment firm
TIAA-CREF to divest from companies like Caterpillar. These companies profit
from destruction wreaked upon Palestinian families, their farms, their economy,
and their lives. You can combine this with a larger event, or designate a few
people to do the delivery. While TIAA-CREF recently removed Caterpillar from
its Social Choice accounts, it still holds over a billion dollars of
Caterpillar stock.
Will you help the Rachel Corrie Foundation exceed their goal of delivering
letters to half of the 60 TIAA-CREF offices nationwide?

in support of the campaign to pressure TIAA-CREF to divest.
As Palestinians and their supporters mark Rachel's verdict with actions to
challenge the escalation of home demolitions and displacements in Jerusalem,
the Jordan Valley, the Hebron Hills, the Negev, and beyond, we here in the
United States have a particular responsibility to oppose U.S. institutional
support for Israel's occupation and apartheid policies and the impunity that
allows it to continue.
In the words of the Rachel Corrie Foundation:
[We] hope the outcome will provide some measure of justice for Rachel's
killing; but regardless, the larger struggle for justice and equal rights
continues [inspired] by Rachel's work and her belief that all Israelis and
Palestinians deserve to live in peace with dignity and equality... Together, we
can seize the moment. We can tell Rachel's story. Most of all, we can cry out
with her message of equality and human rights and for her call to end home
demolitions and the Israeli occupation!
Let us come together for this tremendous opportunity to honor Rachel and her
commitment to justice.
In her memory,
Anna Baltzer
