nyc marathon is funded by blood money

The title sponsor of the NYC Marathon makes money from servicing Israel’s apartheid and genocide of Palestinians.

What’s happening in Palestine?

Gaza is about 25 miles long & 6 miles wide, with a population of 2.1 million.

Since October 7th, 2023, Israel has murdered 100,000+ Palestinians, displaced 90% of Gaza’s people, acutely starved 96% of them, and has banned any food to enter the region since last month.

How is the NYC Marathon related?

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), is the title sponsor of the NYC Marathon.

TCS supplies critical banking and IT services to Israel to surveil, occupy and destroy Palestinian land and lives.

TCS is the most valuable subsidiary of Indian megacorporation Tata Group, a key infrastructure supplier for the Israeli genocidal and apartheid regime.

TCS whitewashes its complicity in Israel’s genocide of Palestinians by sponsoring marathons for “community well-being.”

Remember, our mission is not to shame the runners. They are running enthusiasts, and not our primary targets. Our mission is to:

  1. Raise awareness among runners about Zionism and its genocidal project, and to move people to action, whether BDS, or writing to TCS to express condemnation for their alliance with Israel.

  2. Expose TCS as active participants in genocide.
