A militant crowd organized by the Boston Coalition for Palestine faced off against a phalanx of cops guarding a Capital One Café and shut down the streets of Harvard Square in Cambridge for nearly two hours during the sweltering afternoon heat of Aug. 10. The action was in response to a violent attack by Cambridge police a week earlier at the same storefront on activists with BDS (Boycott, Divest, Sanction) – Boston. Capital One Café — the target of a month-long campaign by BDS – Boston — is run by the ninth largest bank in the U.S. Besides luring people like students into its credit card debt trap through gimmicks like “cafés,” the otherwise online-only Capital One Financial has amassed much of its $490.6 billion in assets by extending lines of credit to the military-industrial complex.

Charleston, SC – On July 22, members of the Elbit Out of South Carolina Coalition (EOSC) spoke out at a Charleston County council meeting against Elbit Systems America, a subsidiary of Israeli weapons manufacturer Elbit Systems.
