[From our allies at the San Francisco Bay Area Darfur Coalition:]
Did you know that your family savings might be helping to fund the genocide in Darfur? Most people don’t. But when they find out, most people are horrified and want to ensure that their own personal savings are no longer connected to genocide.
There’s an easy way that you can help in the important work of convincing mutual fund companies to become genocide-free. Our colleagues at Investors Against Genocide are leading this effort and need mutual fund shareholders to submit a shareholder proposal to mutual funds in which they invest to help make them genocide-free.
If you have at least $2K invested in a mutual fund and have held that fund for at least a year, you are eligible to submit a shareholder proposal. The staff at Investors Against Genocide (IAG) will assist you in the easy submission process. It takes very little time and all the materials have been developed for you. You just will fill in a few blanks. You will not need to disclose any financial information to IAG or any third party.
If you don’t own any mutual funds, but have a friend or family member who does, please pass along this email to them.
The SF Bay Area Darfur Coalition has committed to getting hundreds of proposals submitted. If you are willing to put your 401(k), IRA or any other mutual fund investment to work for Darfur, please send an email to martinaknee –at– gmail.com with your full name, phone number, and email address. A member of the IAG team will contact you directly to answer your questions and help you get started. This personal information will not be used for any other purpose.
Help end investments in genocide and cut off the money supply to those who perpetrate crimes against humanity.
