We’ve moved over $57 million out of Vanguard because of its inaction on climate change – and that number will keep growing until Vanguard makes serious changes. πŸ“ˆ And now we've got stickers that we want to share with you! Here’s how you get one:

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!

Why Is the World’s Largest Fossil Fuel Investor Afraid of Peaceful, Grassroots Environmental Campaigners? - Bucks County Beacon Police were dispatched to Vanguard’s Chester County campus last month to arrest 5 Earth Quaker Action Team advocates.

πŸ“° EQAT volunteer, Richard, writes in the @buckscountybeacon.com about his experience going to Vanguard to ask CEO Salim Ramji to meet with the #VanguardSOS campaign and what happened next. Read all about it: buckscountybeacon.com/2025/10/why-...

As Nancy at @stopmoneypipeline.bsky.social said, β€œFollowing 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.”

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?

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.

Hey Vanguard, PLEASE create a fossil-free target date fund. People want that. They're leaving your funds because you don't have this option.

A few of us decided to swing by Vanguard CEO Salim Ramji's apartment building one evening, to see if we could catch him on his way home. We didn’t get to talk to Ramji this time, but we’ll keep coming back until Vanguard makes courageous decisions – for its customers, for the planet, for all of us.
