"On the morning of April 21, a dozen community members with the anti-imperialist campaign Demilitarize Brooklyn Navy Yard (DBNY) entered the Capital One corporate offices in Midtown, Manhattan, unfurling two banners that read: 'Capital One Pays For Genocide' and 'Eject Elbit Systems.'"
"This action comes days before the expiration of a $545 million loan from a consortium of six banks - including $90 million from Capital One - to Elbit Systems, Israel's largest weapons manufacturer."
"'This week, Capital One's $90 million loan to Elbit Systems is set to either renew or expire, and we came out in multiple cities to let them know that we're not giving up,' said one Eject Elbit organizer in D.C."
On April 21, 2026, demonstrators protested outside Capital One's offices in Manhattan against a $90 million loan to Elbit Systems. The anti-imperialist group Demilitarize Brooklyn Navy Yard unfurled banners and partially blocked hallways. The protest was part of a global Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions campaign aimed at Elbit Systems, coinciding with the loan's expiration. Organizers expressed determination to continue pressuring Capital One to withdraw its financial support for what they termed violent funding.
