Stop Land Grabs

The Stop Land Grabs campaign is a coalition of farmers, workers, and climate & human rights activists opposed to the financialization of farmland.

🚨 At #NYClimateWeek, 80+ rallied at @TIAA HQ, demanding they stop using retirement savings to fuel climate destruction. TIAA must be held accountable for #landgrabs, rights abuses, and environmental harm! 🌍✊

Wow this is huge: RIP Dicamba indeed. @TIAA has allowed toxic pesticides to be sprayed by airplane over its vast acreage in Arkansas, harming Black families who survived the Elaine Massacre; poisoning water and land. Finally a court steps in! @TIAADivest @ActionAidUSA

NEXT WEEK 🇧🇷 on The Internationalist:

We draw from scholar Maria Luisa Mendonça's extraordinary text, The Political Economy of Agribusiness (@fernpub).

"To avoid responsibility for labour rights, sugarcane corporations contracted temporary workers via intermediary schemes. This system of exploitation included the illegal transportation of migrant workers from different regions of Brazil to the plantations, where they faced contemporary slavery conditions."

[ActionAid USA @ActionAidUSA]

Who's responsible for climate catastrophes that kill & displace? Not just coal, gas, oil & big #agribusiness. Its banks, asset managers & pension funds financing them. We demand that our retirement savings manager @TIAAdivest and @stoplandgrabs now👏 👇 https://t.co/fU2vy21OVx

[Barbara W Brandom @BarbaraWBrandom]

@ActionAidUSA @POW_no_fracking @NuveenInv @Cubs @MLB @TIAA TIAA should stop investing in the expansion of infrastructure to market liquid natural gas such as the proposals of New Fortress Energy. Puerto Rico would be more resilient with distributed solar networks than with gas.

[ActionAid USA @ActionAidUSA]

.@TIAA is investing activities that are fueling the #ClimateCrisis, devastating frontline communities & destroying our planet.

Our own @doug_hertzler & @TQuinnThib highlight TIAA's bad practices & call on them to divest before it's too late 👇 https://t.co/Lys8AHqyPY @TIAADivest

[TIAA-Divest! @TIAADivest]

"The report’s authors said their findings highlighted the need for greater transparency and stricter regulation of corporate climate efforts, to prevent companies from greenwashing their environmental impact — particularly when making “net zero” claims."

🔊 Powerful words at the #SB58 #BonnClimateConference! The call by @gcdcj to rich countries to "come clean at #COP28" & fully deliver on their climate obligations is a crucial demand for justice and equity💪 It's time for a just transition away from #FossilFuels👏

[ActionAid USA @ActionAidUSA]

It's clear what the U.S. & other rich nations need to do to generate #ClimateFinance. @Mariana_Paoli breaks it down at a #SB58 side event ( which also features out #ClimateJustice lead, @1TeresaAnderson) 👇
