@pitdesi Proxy voting UX sucks. SVE tried to fix through a marketplace. Liquid democracy is better.

@pitdesi why don't you create a shareholder voting policy on iconik, I'll build a landing page so people can opt in to have their shares autovoted to match.

Unless you're BlackRock, it can be rational not to vote your shares https://t.co/BHcmyq7aGp @matt_levine's arguments could also apply to civil elections. Apps like iconik, Fennel & Civix will make intelligent proxy voting realizable for all https://t.co/NESQrYG80W #corpgov #ESG

Refreshing to see #DFA Funds give full #transparency to their #proxy voting. As people look to having a #voice in corporate governance, each of their funds speak on their behalf.

Here is how they voted to bring new people to the #Exxon board $XOM

“Activists are absolutely right to be focusing on offsetting because there are a lot of companies that have not been very clear whether and to what extent they’ll use offsetting to achieve their net-zero targets,”

Historic victory at ExxonMobil as shareholders embraced the reality of carbon asset risk. Can we repurpose the tools that funds like Engine 1 use to reassert control over other oil companies @billmckibben ? #ClimateAction

First line says it all: "Large banks have been busy this proxy season repelling efforts by activist shareholders to require outside examinations of whether their businesses are contributing to racial inequality." https://t.co/2gJT0gn8Cw #investing #trading #activism

@clekinc I have two of your foonf seats. Great seat, disappointing recycling policy. I wish you would make it easier for consumers to do the right thing.
