DSA Capital One Protest (Jan 17th)
Event Details
EVENT 1: January 17, 2026
About This Event
Democratic Socialists of America – Boulder, Colorado (DSA Boulder) organizes a protest and picket against Capital One’s funding of Israeli weapons manufacturer Elbit Systems on Friday, January 17, 2026, at 3:00 PM. Join the national boycott movement demanding Capital One drop its $100 million loan to Elbit Systems, complicit in the genocide and mass slaughter of over 200,000 Palestinians. This peaceful demonstration takes place outside the Capital One Cafe at 12th & Pearl Street in Boulder, calling for corporate accountability and an end to weapons financing. From 2024-2025, Capital One’s gross profit climbed to over $42 billion while collaborating on a half-billion-dollar loan to Elbit with five other major banks. Protesters demand Capital One end its loan to Elbit Systems by May 21, 2026. Join fellow Boulder activists, social justice advocates, and community members standing against genocide funding. Bring signs, voices, and solidarity to this critical demonstration for Palestinian human rights and corporate divestment from weapons manufacturing.
