📣 Our new report finds that the Trump admin’s energy + AI “dominance” policies + hostility to renewables will make it even harder for working families to afford their energy bills. Thanks to Trump, the wholesale price of fossil gas could DOUBLE over the next decade, outpacing inflation every year.

What can we do? Check out the research at toxicfinance.org and tell Vanguard to stop financing plastics and petrochemical pollution at actionnetwork.org/petitions/stop-financing-the-crisis-of-plastics-petrochemical-pollution @hiphopcaucus.bsky.social @stopmoneypipeline.bsky.social #VanguardSOS

A report released by @foeus.bsky.social, @ciel.org, @breakfreefromplastic.org, and more showed that Vanguard is the largest investor in 34 big petrochemical projects that are expected to emit 98,000,000 metric tons of CO2 equivalent annually – more than the national emissions of Colombia or Belgium!

Just one reason we push back with spirit-led direct action showing how Vanguard needs to change. Financial institutions let fossil fuel companies poison us and enact climate catastrophe. Coming together to take action, we can make them act for a just and livable future. 📷by Rachael Warriner (3/3)

Vanguard recently took another step backwards, caving to partisan pressure by settling in a politically motivated lawsuit brought by 13 state attorneys general. Corporate leaders are making investment decisions based on right-wing political objectives instead of the interests of their clients. (2/3)

Vanguard says it's protecting its customers’ future while at the same time majorly investing in the very industries poisoning people today and threatening all of our futures. Sounds like a huge contradiction, and we know Vanguard can do better. @afsc-org.bsky.social 📷 by Rachael Warriner
