Steve Grossman, NJDC board member and candidate for Massachusetts State Treasurer, spoke to The Jerusalem Post about his intent to spearhead Massachusetts’ efforts to divest all state funds from companies that do business with Iran. Grossman told The Jerusalem Post:

It’s an important statement of our values and our priorities, that we don’t invest in companies that are working against the interests of the United States. ... Our pension funds should not be put into stocks of foreign companies that are helping Iran develop an oil and gas industry and exporting terrorism and are creating problems in terms of the national security of the United States.

NJDC applauds Grossman for his candidacy and for his vision of divesting the Bay State from Iran.
