YOUR SHAREHOLDER POWER MAKING CHANGE
Shareholders Make an Impact
...while CEOs have their heads in the sand 
You’re smart — you know we’re running out of time to cut carbon emissions enough to keep global warming below 1.5°C. That’s the boundary between a world we know, and a world we don’t want to know.
While oil company CEOs bury their heads in the sand, YOU are making an impact. Read More »
BANKS have their head in the sand too
It’s not just oil, gas, and coal companies. Read More »

Shareholder Rights Under Attack
Assaults on corporate accountability continue to pour from Washington. Companies are being released from the regulations that insist profits shouldn’t come at the expense of human rights, clean water, clean air, or a livable climate.
We beat back last year’s attempt by Congress to kneecap shareholder rights. Now the SEC is trying again, to impose new, drastic limits on shareholders’ ability to call for change at the companies they own.
Don’t let the SEC silence shareholders’ voices. DONATE TODAY.
There’s not a moment to lose. We MUST fight back. Your gift today will help preserve and protect shareholders’ rights. Your gift makes sure the shareholder proxy process keeps working for ALL of us.
