Friend,

Do you think people who are saving for retirement should be able to choose socially responsible investment options? How about investments that consider the impacts of the climate crisis?  

Thousands of Green Americans urged the Department of Labor (DOL) in 2021 to uphold the ability of 401(k) plans to allow investors to select funds based on their financial, environmental, social, and corporate governance performance.  The DOL agreed – but now Republicans in Congress are pushing legislation to revoke the ability of retirement plans to include socially and environmentally responsible funds. 

Call your representatives today and tell them to protect investors' rights to choose socially responsible investments in their retirement funds. 

1. Find your House and Senate representatives 

2. Call the Capitol Switchboard (202) 224-3121 with the following message: 

I’m calling as a constituent because I’m concerned about Congress using the Congressional Review Act to expose retirement accounts to greater risks. I support the Department of Labor’s Prudence and Loyalty in Selecting Plan Investments and Exercising Shareholder Rights rule. 

I believe that retirement plans should be able to consider how the climate crisis and other risks, like unethical business practices, could hurt the value of retirement investments in the future. 

Please help protect peoples’ retirement savings and oppose any attempts to overturn this Department of Labor rule. 

Thank you for taking action today! 

For a green economy, 

P.S. Your support means we can do even more to reverse climate change and protect the future for people and the planet. Please contribute today.
