But we believe that Greig, a former deputy budget director for the City of Philadelphia, cares about our city and our people. We call on her, as we do with all Vanguard crew members, to work together and help move Vanguard in a better direction. We’ll keep showing up until they do!

As long as Vanguard is the world’s #1 investor in coal, oil, and gas, votes against all climate action at the corporations in which it invests, and caves to pressure from Republican politicians, then inviting Vanguard leaders to your events means hosting a major driver of climate destruction.

🚨 Fiona Greig, global head of investor research and policy at Vanguard‘s Investment Strategy Group, was presenting at the US Monetary Policy Forum this morning in NYC. So, we greeted attendees as they arrived for Greig’s panel. #VanguardSOS
The recent settlement in the case between Vanguard & a group of state attorneys general just underscores the chasm between Vanguard's values & action. Claiming passivity while financing fossil fuel expansion puts its customers’ futures at risk -- period. Read all about it:

According to @commondreams.org, "There’s evidence that all this activism is making a difference for the industry. The “cost of capital” for funding new fossil fuel projects has risen steeply in the last decade, from 8% to 10% to around 20%..." More at commondreams.org/news/16000-divest-fossil-fuels

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!

As Nancy at @stopmoneypipeline.bsky.social 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.”
Yesterday, Vanguard had a shareholder meeting where it asked for permission to make 2 of its funds less diversified. Here's how we responded: eqat.org/press-releas...

As many of Vanguard President & 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.

What does it mean for Vanguard President & 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?
