Kick Lee Raymond off Chase’s Board 👋🐾👋

The campaign to kick King of the Climate Deniers, Lee Raymond, off of Chase’s Board is heating up. If we can get Raymond off of Chase’s board that would be a huge win for our campaign. Here are ways you can help:

• Send an email to your list to generate phone calls to BlackRock, State Street, and Vanguard to make sure that they vote the right way.BlackRock, State Street, and Vanguard are three of the largest asset managers in the world, worth many trillions of dollars. Collectively, they own a significant share of Chase. We need to get them to vote the right way. Can you sign up here for a day that your organization can generate calls to BlackRock, State Street and Vanguard this month?

  For help in drafting your email, check out this Lee Raymond brief and please use this amazing call-in tool from BlackRock’s Big Problem.

• Reach out to a State, County or City Pension Fund manager to encourage them to vote the right way, and pressure major asset managers to do the same. State, County, and City pension managers are responsible for investing billions of dollars. This means that they may be a shareholder in Chase, and will get a vote on Lee Raymond. There is also a good chance that your State, County or City uses BlackRock, State Street or Vanguard to manage their money, and can pressure them to vote the right way. Consider getting in touch with your State, County, and City pension managers and asking them to do the right thing and vote to get Lee Raymond off of Chase’s Board.
  
  There is a toolkit for reaching out to pension fund managers here. (FWIW: we are reaching out to the ED and CFO of Seattle pension fund this week, as they use BlackRock to manage their money.)

Digital Takeover of JPMorgan Chase on Earth Day LIVE 💻🖱✊

350 PDX is taking the lead on planning a digital takeover of JPMorgan Chase on April 23rd, when we will leave hundreds of reviews on Chase’s social media and review sites calling out their complicity in the destruction of our planet and the violation of Indigenous sovereignty. They will have a kick-ass video to share soon, and it would be great if we could all help share and promote that as a part of Earth Day LIVE
