"While BlackRock makes pledges to ask portfolio companies to cut emissions in the future, our forests are being razed, our land is being stolen, and our people are being killed, today."
Amazon Watch and partners have seen big changes in the world of climate finance over the past few months in direct response to our coalition pressure campaigns!
In March, over 80 renowned Indigenous and frontline activists from all over the world issued a public letter criticizing BlackRock’s role in the ongoing violation of their land and human rights.
Now is the time to escalate pressure on giant investors to use their strongest tool – their outsized power – to spur action on climate and racial justice!
Every spring, huge corporations open their doors to their investors, especially their largest investors – huge asset managers like BlackRock and Vanguard. Their investors tell them what to do. And they must respond. Together, we can amplify the voices of frontline communities and turn climate commitments into climate action.
Join us on Wednesday, April 7 at noon PT / 3 pm ET to learn how our grassroots pressure can have an outsized impact on moving big corporations to protect human rights and to decarbonize meaningfully and rapidly.
