Dear John,
Last month, the U.S. House Judiciary Committee formally subpoenaed As You Sow, demanding that we produce a wide range of documents related to our work with companies on carbon pollution. | | | The Committee argues that “As You Sow is potentially violating U.S. antitrust law by entering into agreements to ‘decarbonize’ corporate assets and reduce emissions to net zero.” This subpoena, which follows threats from red state Attorneys General and Treasurers, is a dramatic escalation in their campaign to reverse corporate progress on carbon pollution and social justice. | | | | Shareholders’ basic freedom to address important issues like climate change are now under attack. | | | | As You Sow has the flexibility and ability to fight this radical anti-climate congressional inquiry.
It’s an enormous undertaking to stand up to the forces defending old guard, high-carbon polluters, and it’s incredibly expensive. But ceding ground to the extreme anti-climate, pro-fossil fuel messaging of this subpoena, is simply not an option. Your donation today sends a message that we will not cede ground. | | | Your contribution powers the strong, required response! |
| | These attacks are driven by a breathtaking degree of self-interest and short-term profit, creating real danger not only to risk-aware investing, but to the future of our planet. As You Sow is driven by the certainty that together, we can protect a future we want to see.
For the future, | |
| Danielle Fugere President and Chief Counsel | | |
