Tell the Maryland State Retirement and Pension System: no new Israel Bonds
This office holds Israel Bonds, or credible reports say it does.
To: PIA@sra.state.md.us
Subject: Do not reinvest maturing Israel Bonds
Dear the Maryland State Retirement and Pension System:
I am a Maryland resident writing about public funds invested in Israel Bonds (Development Corporation for Israel). These bonds are unrestricted loans to the Israeli government during its war on Gaza, and all three major credit rating agencies have downgraded Israel's debt since October 2023.
As these bonds mature, I urge the Maryland State Retirement and Pension System not to reinvest in Israel Bonds, and to publish a full public accounting of past and current holdings.
Thank you,
[Your name]
[City, MD]
