BREAKING: Florida’s Retirement System LOST over 200 million dollars from our Russian investments since I first called on our state to divest over two months ago.

 

I always said, divestment was and is forward-looking. It wasn’t just about preventing the loss of our $300m in investments, it's about preventing NEW Florida dollars from backing Putin’s war crimes in Ukraine.

 

As the war has dragged on, bipartisan state legislatures from across the country, free countries across the world, and even some of the world’s largest multi-national companies have found ways to divest their holdings in Russia, hold Putin and Russian oligarchs accountable, and support the people of Ukraine in their fight for freedom.

 

This isn’t done. There is no reason Florida should not still divest our investments in Russia and NOT put more of our retirees' savings into Putin’s pocket. Click here to sign my petition urging Governor DeSantis to finally divest and STOP supporting Putin’s regime.

 

 

Our state has divested in one way or another from Venezuela, Cuba, Iran, and Sudan. This can, has, and SHOULD be done. It’s good for Florida, good for our retirees, and pro-freedom.

 

YOU CAN HELP. Forward this email to friends and family, retweet me on Twitter, or donate to help me keep getting the word out about this and all the other important issues facing our state.

 

Together, let’s stand up for Ukraine!
