Voters in Providence, the capital of Rhode Island, approved an initiative requiring the city to divest from companies and countries involved in human rights abuses. The measure targets companies that benefit from Israel’s occupation and the war on Gaza, making Providence the largest U.S. city to adopt such a measure by direct popular vote. The initiative won more than 76% of the vote, or 20,925 votes. Supporters estimated the investments in question at about $2.5 million and said they could include companies such as Google, Microsoft and Caterpillar. Mayor-elect David Morales announced his support for implementing the measure, while opponents warned of financial and legal consequences and the possibility of lawsuits.
