Join us Wednesday, May 19 at 4pm ET/1pm PT for an inspiring 90 minute global event kicking off a week of actions leading up to BlackRock’s annual meeting.
Right now, giant investors are wielding their outsized power at corporations that are directly responsible for increased carbon emissions, widespread environmental destruction, and gross human rights abuses against Indigenous Peoples and local communities around the world.
They can create the wide-sweeping change we urgently need… or support business as usual. The choices they make impact the way climate-damaging companies operate and who directs their corporate boards.
BlackRock—the world’s largest fund manager, with massive investments that drive both environmental destruction and human rights violations—has made multiple high-profile commitments, while still pouring billions into fossil fuels and deforestation.
It’s past time to match rhetoric with meaningful climate action. We demand clear, bold steps that require companies to change their practices in line with science based climate targets and the principles of climate justice. BlackRock can play a major role in shifting financing away from the companies and industries endangering people, planet, and our future.
This year, the People’s Assembly on BlackRock ramps up pressure on the company before its annual meeting on May 26.
Speakers include international Indigenous leaders, elected officials, scientists, and frontline activists fighting fossil fuel projects in North America.
