Dear Chris --

Please join us in the Chicago area to protest RE/MAX's involvement with illegal Israeli settlements. Ariel, our national BDS campaigner, will be in Chicago from September 9-13. She will be joining local activists outside RE/MAX offices to protest the sale of homes on stolen Palestinian land. See below for full details about when and where the actions will be happening!

Denver-based RE/MAX International is continuing to allow its franchisee, RE/MAX Israel, to sell rent, and advertise properties in illegal Israeli settlements in the West Bank. Agents from RE/MAX Israel do business in all the major West Bank settlements, including those in Occupied East Jerusalem, in violation of international law.

In June 2016 in anticipation of a resolution by the Presbyterian Church General Assembly calling on RE/MAX to stop selling homes in the settlements, RE/MAX LLC CEO Dave Liniger announced (http://www.codepink.org/r?u=http%3A%2F%2Fmondoweiss.net%2F2016%2F06%2Fpres byterians-announces-settlements%2F&e=247b6f0c69174ee7dfa25e341c4eedfe&utm_source=codepink&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=remax_chi2&n=2) that the company would no longer receive profits from Israeli settlement properties. At the time, RE/MAX Israel responded with a quote in Haaretz (http://www.codepink.org/r?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.haaretz.com%2Fisrael-news%2F1.730385&e=247b6f0c69174ee7dfa25e341c4eedfe&utm_source=codepink&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=remax_chi2&n=3) declaring they would be continuing “business as usual.”

Our work isn't over yet: check out and sign this letter to Liniger to keep up the pressure! (http://www.remodelremax.org/remax_petition?e=247b6f0c69174ee7dfa25e341c4eedfe&utm_source=codepink&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=remax_chi2&n=4)

Regardless of whether or not RE/MAX LLC continues to receive profits from the sale of Israeli settlement homes, the corporation is still responsible as long as it continues allowing its Israeli franchise to sell such homes under the RE/MAX logo and trademark. As Re/MAX LLC is continuing its involvement in the sale of illegal settlement properties, CODEPINK is continuing our protests!
