Why’d we go to the fundraising gala of the Children’s Hospital of Pennsylvania? It wasn’t an action against the gala; we went to call out Greg Davis, President & CIO of Vanguard, who is also chairman of the board of CHOP.

And it's not just insurers! The #VanguardSOS campaign is calling on Vanguard, #1 investor in fossil fuels, to adopt a human rights policy that prioritizes Free, Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC) for extractive industries and outlines consequences for companies that violate FPIC on Indigenous lands.

Tallgrass Institute’s new #FPIC guide for insurers provides a framework to operationalize due diligence to respect the rights of Indigenous Peoples, grounded in their right to free, prior and informed consent. Read more: www.colorado.edu/program/tall...

💸 We've moved over $55 million out of Vanguard because of its inaction on climate change! That amount will continue to grow until Vanguard makes meaningful changes in its investment and engagement practices. (If you’ve moved your money, make sure to add to the total here: eqat.org/never-vanguard/)
