KEEP THE PRESSURE ON
Keep taking action here.
We can keep pushing BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street to #DefundDeforestation. Invite your friends & networks to join!

ENLIST YOUR STATE TREASURER
Instructions for contacting your State Treasurer
State treasurers and comptrollers oversee huge pension funds made up of the retirement savings of state workers like teachers, health professionals, and union members.
Scott Stringer, New York City Comptroller, has just sent a letter to State Street, urging them to take action to stop deforestation.
Urge your state treasurer to join him and use their powerful role to stop deforestation and human rights abuses.

Links to videos and resources shared on the Actionar are below.

AND SAVE THE DATE FOR OUR OCTOBER 2 DAY OF SOLIDARITY
Join Stop the Money Pipeline on Friday, Oct 2 for Stop Funding Tar Sands, A Day of Solidarity with Frontline Communities.
Our Actionar is part of the September Swarm on BlackRock that’s building up to everyone taking action together on Oct 2.

WE CAN DO IT!
We’re all part of a HUGE movement to shift big money away from fossil fuel companies that are wrecking the planet and violating human rights.  And we’re already winning with all the grassroots power we’re building.

Thanks for taking action with us!
