PFAW Member,
Wall Street and wealthy CEOs want to silence corporate accountability efforts -- and Donald Trump's SEC is about to help make it happen. The SEC is proposing a dangerous rule change that would silence shareholders and help protect powerful Wall Street companies and wealthy CEOs from pressure from their own investors.
Shareholder resolutions have been used for decades to ensure better corporate governance -- and to advance important causes like LGBTQ+ equality, gender and racial equity, and more. Now the SEC is proposing to make these virtually impossible. And time is running out to stop them.
Add your name and tell the SEC: Stop the anti-shareholder proposal rule!>>
Shareholder resolutions are a key method to hold CEOs and their companies accountable. The SEC’s proposed rule would make it harder to file shareholder petitions by increasing the ownership stake needed in order to do so. It would also increase the percentage of support a petition would need to garner from shareholders in order to stay alive.
Time is running out, unfortunately -- the deadline to respond to the SEC is January 3, and that's coming up fast.
Can you help fight back against CEOs and Wall Street?
Sign the petition: Tell the SEC to stop the anti-shareholder proposal rule!>>
Thank you,
- Zach, PFAW
