Dear John,

Shareholder Democracy is Under Attack

The SEC is proposing rules that will sharply restrict shareholders’ right to file resolutions with companies. Resolutions are one of the strongest, most effective ways to improve companies’ environmental, social, and governance practices.

Your Voice Is Critically Needed – Comments open through Feb 3

We can stop the SEC’s power grab. Please make your voice heard today. The most effective way is to send the SEC an email. We’ve set up a petition site ([link removed]) to make it easy. You can customize the standard letter and hit “send,” and add your name to the petition opposing these counterproductive, undemocratic rules.

SEC Trying to Limit Shareholder Voices

The SEC’s proposed rules will sabotage investors' rights to express their views to companies through shareholder resolutions. The new rules will dramatically limit who is allowed to file resolutions. They will make it difficult to refile innovative resolutions. They could severely restrict resolutions filed by shareholders’ representatives, such as As You Sow and others.

This is a blatant attempt to insulate companies from accountability to their own shareholders. We cannot allow the SEC to silence shareholders. We cannot allow the SEC to cripple a process that has worked well for half a century.

For a just and sustainable future for ALL,
