VICTORY!
After years of pressure from the BDS movement and Palestine solidarity groups, General Mills announced it divested from its venture in an illegal Israeli settlement in occupied Palestine.
As the success of the #BoycottPillsbury campaign shows, public pressure works!

From 2002 to 2022, General Mills manufactured Pillsbury products in Atarot, an industrial settlement in occupied Jerusalem, on land stolen from Palestinians in 1970.
The Pillsbury factory got repeated grants from the Israeli government to hire Jewish settlers and relocate them to the area, thereby growing the settlement and economically enabling Israel’s continued land theft and occupation.
.@GeneralMills’ Pillsbury factory in the Atarot Industrial Zone, an illegal Israeli settlement in East Jerusalem, is displacing, exploiting & stifling Palestinians—making it complicit in Israel's occupation & annexation of the West Bank. INFO THREAD! #PillsburyOutOfPalestine

Atarot was founded in 1970 on land illegally occupied in the 1967 war & confiscated from Palestinians in the years after (& to this day). Under Israel's auspices, over 160 Israeli & int'l companies now abuse this formerly-agricultural terrain—and its inhabitants—for profit.
