Coalition for Illinois Divestment from South Africa (CIDSA) Documents

 

CIDSA, or the Coalition for Illinois Divestment from South Africa, was formed by an interracial group in the spring of 1983. Their goals were to convince the state of Illinois to stop investing in South African industries, both through portions of pension funds being removed from the nation and the refusal to buy South African products, particularly steel. They traveled around the state promoting divestment, with the support of politicians like Charlie Hayes and Carol Moseley Braun. CIDSA also worked with student groups in universities, Chicago city aldermen, and city unions, giving workshops on apartheid and the benefits of divestment. While the state of Illinois never completed divestment from South Africa, CIDSA did convince it to cease using South African steel.

The documents below include ephemeral informational materials created by CIDSA and the organization's newsletter, "CIDSA Update."
