This site has become a place of concentrated lies and hate. And, with the current algorithm, we're held back from reaching as many of you as we used to. As we strive to be as powerful as possible with limited resources, we'll focus on other avenues for reaching our community.

This is the result of a whole lot of people working together for a bunch of years. Congrats to @350NYC @ClimateDEF @nychange @pop4climate @riseandresistny @SierraClub @standearth @thirdactnyc When we work together, we can push back against the big investors in our destruction!

The NYC Comptroller has formally recommended to 3 public pension boards that they search for a replacement to BlackRock to manage their $42 billion in pensioners' savings because BlackRock is failing on investing for a safe and healthy future. We love to see it!

[Fridays For Future NYC @FFF_NYC_]

🚨: @bradlander today announced recommendations to end $42+ billion in investment with BlackRock, as it leads funding of fossil fuels.

It’s now time for our pension trustees to follow Comptroller Brad Lander and deliver pension funds that don’t invest in our city’s destruction.

📰 EQAT volunteer, Richard, writes in the @BucksCoBeacon about his experience going to @Vanguard_Group to ask CEO Salim Ramji to meet with the #VanguardSOS campaign and what happened next. Read all about it: https://t.co/3mUkWVXHKT

Join us in asking Vanguard executives to meet with us, adopt an Indigenous rights policy, and offer a fossil fuel-free version of a standard retirement fund:

Yesterday, @Vanguard_Group had a shareholder meeting where it asked for permission to make 2 of its funds less diversified. Here's how we responded: https://t.co/4nXvR0DEHw

Salim Ramji adds final late appeal to shareholders of two Vanguard index ETFs to re-classify them as 'non-diversified' -- to keep them diversified, but not 'synthetically' https://t.co/VLbud47IV1

As Nancy at @StopMoneyPipe said, “Following last week’s tragic Hurricane Melissa that affected communities across the Caribbean, it’s more urgent than ever for Vanguard to decarbonize its investment portfolio. We need billions invested in renewable energy, not fossil fuels.”

[EarthQuakerActionTeam @eqat]

As many of Vanguard President and CIO Greg Davis’s friends and peers arrived at the fundraising gala, they were greeted by EQATers holding banners and signs calling on Davis and Vanguard to do better and invest like they actually care about our children’s futures.

[EarthQuakerActionTeam @eqat]

Why’d we go to the fundraising gala of CHOP (@ChildrensPhila)? It wasn’t an action against the gala; we went to call out Greg Davis, President & CIO of @Vanguard_Group, who is also chairman of the board of CHOP.
#VanguardSOS

[EarthQuakerActionTeam @eqat]

What does it mean for Vanguard President and CIO Greg Davis to raise money for children’s healthcare when his day job is leading the world’s largest investor in fossil fuels? What kind of legacy is he leaving for the next generation?

Earth Quaker Action Team is 15 years old thanks to you! As part of our community, you are co-creators of what we’ve accomplished and what we’ll achieve in the future. We’re honored to have been on this path with you, and we’d love to celebrate our joy, spirit, and hope together.

[EarthQuakerActionTeam @eqat]

You’re invited to join us as we celebrate 15 years of spirit-led, nonviolent direct action with EQAT! We’ll share stories, movement artifacts, lessons learned, and, of course, song. Sun 11/9 3-6 PM in Philly. More info & RSVP here: https://t.co/EJnMljBjEj

As the world’s largest investor in fossil fuels and one of the worst when it comes to asking portfolio companies to do better, @Vanguard_Group especially has a responsibility to do what it can to invest for a safe and healthy future.

In the morning, five of our F/friends went to the office building where @Vanguard_Group executives work to ask that CEO Salim Ramji meet with representatives of the #VanguardSOS campaign. Instead of speaking with them, Vanguard had the group arrested.

[EarthQuakerActionTeam @eqat]

So, in the afternoon, many more of us showed up at @Vanguard_Group to rally in support of those arrested and reiterate the request for Vanguard leaders to meet with campaign representatives. We shared song, speeches, and silent worship.

@afsc_org @StopMoneyPipe

[EarthQuakerActionTeam @eqat]

When asked again for a meeting, Vanguard had the group, ages 22 to 72, arrested by local police. Vanguard, why are you scared of people in matching t-shirts? 🤔

[EarthQuakerActionTeam @eqat]

🚨Happening now🚨 After many months of 1,000s of people contacting @Vanguard_Group , 5 people went to Vanguard’s executive office building today to request that CEO Salim Ramji meet with #VanguardSOS campaign representatives.
