Providence, Rhode Island residents voted to divest the city's foreign investments from countries profiting from genocide, The Guardian reported. The ballot measure passed during last week's midterm elections, making Providence the second U.S. city to cut investment ties with Israel.
The referendum reflects growing momentum within the pro-Palestine movement across American municipalities. Providence joins an earlier city in taking such action through direct voter approval rather than municipal council decision-making.
