ADC Files Motion to Intervene in Defense of Medford's Values-Aligned Investment Ordinance
The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) has filed a Motion to Intervene in a federal court case to defend Medford, Massachusetts' Values-Aligned Local Investments Ordinance, which requires the city to divest public funds from certain industries. The ordinance, which includes divesting from companies linked to human rights violations, faces a legal challenge from out-of-state foundations. ADC is supporting the ordinance to prevent a potential nationwide precedent against similar policies.
