John,

For years, alongside our partners, we’ve successfully used our power as shareholders of some of the world’s largest companies to file proposals and have a say over their decisions. But now, from the US to Europe, corporate bullies are trying to take that from us.

This unprecedented anti-shareholder effort is bankrolled to the tune of millions by right wing groups to pass anti-shareholder legislation and attack the SEC, FTC, and other regulatory bodies to weaken them.

Worse, big corporations like Exxon are suing our allies while the Republican-led House Judiciary Committee is grilling them in congressional hearings. We could be next, John.

Sign this petition calling on the US Congress to urgently protect our rights as shareholders.

As shareholders, we are powerful and able to hold even the largest corporations accountable. And this is what bothers the billionaires behind these attacks on our work. They are using every trick in the book to silence us and our peers.

They have gone so far as to try to overturn Chevron v NRDC, the foundational Supreme Court decision which gives regulators such as the SEC their power. They won’t stop unless we come together and fight back for our rights as shareholders.

Call on the US Congress to urgently protect our rights as shareholders.
