📢🆕 @NYCComptroller is taking more action to protect workers' savings from the climate crisis by stopping NYC pension funds' private market investments in all fossil fuel sectors.
This sets a strong precedent for pensions across the country to follow. 👏

"The best reason to invest ethically is it's a key way to starve the fossil fuel industry and slow down global warming. The second best reason is it makes good financial sense too.” - @billmckibben

.@Vanguard_Group's choices have harmful consequences – for people living on the frontlines of toxic pollution from Vanguard’s investments and for all of us as we face more and more unnatural disasters from climate change.

“We should not, as a Jewish people, be investing our money in and perpetuating the fossil fuel industry when we know they are the bad guy. This is not who we are.”
Our hearts are heavy this week in the face of so much. Our resolve to act is even stronger.

Any reporting about Hurricane Helene needs to be clear - this is not normal. This is not just a tragedy. This is a crime.
Fossil fuel companies have known this would happen for the last 50 years. They lied to the public and bought out our government just to make a profit.
Make them pay.
