Green American, our freedom to invest in people and planet is under attack! 

This month, the House Financial Services Committee is holding not one but seven hearings attacking our freedom to invest in people and planet.  

Witnesses include a who’s who of speakers from fossil-fuel-funded think tanks that deny the climate crisis and disparage diversity.  

They are attacking  

  • Our freedom to invest responsibly through our retirement and college savings accounts 

  • Our ability to hold corporations accountable by voting on shareholder resolutions 

  • The Securities and Exchange Commission's requirements for corporations to disclose carbon emissions 

But you can fight back. Tell your House representative: Protect my freedom to invest responsibly.  

We need your House representative to join the new Sustainable Investment Caucus, a group of House representatives fighting back against the fossil fuel interests and standing up for our freedom to invest responsibly.

Your House representative is more likely to join if they hear from you – and even if your representative (like mine who is a coal lobbyist) would never join a sustainability caucus, it’s important they know responsible investing matters to you.  

Politicians in charge of this month’s House hearings don't want us to make informed investment choices. They don't want shareholders to ensure corporations fairly treat workers, communities, and the environment. They don't want to require that corporations reveal their climate impacts.

Last year, 15,000 Green Americans signed a petition in support of an SEC rule that would require corporations to disclose their carbon emissions. Now we need you to act again by asking your House representative to join the Sustainable Investment Caucus.  

Urge your member of Congress to stand up for responsible investing today.

For a green economy,
