Thank You , Dublin

On Tuesday, September 17, the City of Dublin took a significant step by passing a motion to align its investments with Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles, Socially Responsible Investing (SRI), and Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) guidelines. This decision resonates deeply with me as a Dublin resident, as I believe in the importance of how tax money is utilized within the city. The motion reflects a commitment to maintaining and building schools, such as Emerald High, rather than supporting actions that harm civilians, like the demolition of schools by the Israeli army, which has been funded by U.S. taxpayers for almost a year. The city s decision to listen to the concerns of over 40 residents who voiced their objections on Tuesday is commendable. Furthermore, Dublin s adoption of the ESG, SRI, and BDS guidelines is inspired by the actions of other cities like Hayward, Richmond, and Alameda. By following their lead, Dublin aims to prevent its residents from being associated with additional violence and bloodshed. In summary, the City of Dublin s motion to adhere to ESG, SRI, and BDS guidelines marks a pivotal moment in history. It demonstrates the city s dedication to responsible investment and its commitment to avoiding complicity in harmful actions. This decision not only benefits Dublin s residents but also sets a positive example for other cities to follow.
