John,

We’ve all seen the news - Facebook’s platforms are a danger to children!

Yet state-run teacher pensions invest $3,000,000,000 in Facebook! 

Instagram is flooding kids' feeds with toxic posts, leaving millions of young people feeling anxious, depressed, and even suicidal. Facebook knows this but chooses profits instead of a fix.

Teachers spend their whole lives caring for kids, yet the managers in charge of investing their retirement money keep bankrolling a platform that’s destroying children's mental health. 

Others like the Los Angeles City Council are debating right now whether to divest from Facebook. Here’s our chance to push these pension fund managers to do the same!

Sign to let them know - Funding Facebook is no way to fund our educators' retirements!

From the Wall Street Journal to Senate hearings, we’ve seen evidence of Facebook hurting kids -- and evidence that when he has the chance to protect them, Mark Zuckerberg refuses.  

At SumOfUs, our own member backed research has shown how Facebook’s Instagram pushes young girls to starvation diets, unnecessary surgery and dangerous skin “whitening.” This is no surprise to Facebook but they do not act. 

We can!

If thousands of us push these pension funds to pull their money out we can send a clear message to Facebook that endangering a whole generation of children comes with a cost.

Teachers’ pension funds are just one of Facebook’s many investors but they are high-profile. If they act, we’ll have the ammunition we need to push others to follow suit -- and then we’ll go from fund to fund persuading them to divest until there’s no one left.

When colleges started divesting from fossil fuels, it caused a snowball effect across the world. Let’s do the same now and show Facebook they can’t keep harming our kids with impunity.

Tell State Funds for Teachers to Stop Investing in Facebook and Protect our Kids!
