This April and May, investors in Wall Street banks and insurance companies will vote on at least four shareholder proposals related to climate justice and Indigenous rights. These votes are some of the most important climate votes that you’ve never heard of.
In response, we’ve joined with our allies from the Stop the Money Pipeline coalition to demand that they address their complicity in the climate crisis and continued disregard of human rights in the Amazon through these votes.
Sign the petition to demand votes in favor of key resolutions that will defend Indigenous rights and our climate!
State treasurers and public pension funds manage trillions of dollars that are invested in corporations across the economy. This means that both have an important role to play in stopping the flow of money to banks funding fossil fuels, much of which goes to extraction and destruction across the Amazon, in violation of the rights of the Indigenous peoples who live there.
As major investors, they have an outsized voice in whether or not these resolutions pass. Let’s join the movement to stop the flow of money for fossil fuel expansion by demanding they vote YES on all Indigenous rights and Paris-aligned climate resolutions this spring!
