🪧 Happy Earth Week! 🪧 Enjoy the Trees 🪧 Meanwhile... 🪧 Vanguard Fuels Climate Crises! 🪧 eqat.org/never-vanguard This is what drivers saw on a series of signs as they passed through the neighborhood of Vanguard President and CIO, Greg Davis, and approached beautiful Chanticleer Garden.

If you've been thinking of applying but haven't gotten around to it yet, now's a great time! Applications submitted through this Sunday will receive full consideration. See original post for more information and the link to apply.

Vanguard is the #1 toxic investor, investing $182 billion in 34 major petrochemical expansion projects in the U.S. 💸 As this research was being released nationally and shared in a press conference in TX, we went to Vanguard’s HQ in PA to bring the research and our demands to its front door.

@breakfreefromplastic.org, @ciel.org, @foeus.bsky.social, and @peopleoverpetro.bsky.social released new research that Vanguard invests $182 billion in 34 major petrochemical expansion projects, which are expected to emit 98,000,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent annually! 🤢

EQAT is hiring! We’re looking for a Campaign Director to lead our volunteer teams to be as powerful as possible in our spirit-led campaigning. Full-time, Philly region, base salary of $72,000 per year + benefits. Applications submitted by April 12th will receive full consideration.

This action comes right after people proteste #CERAWeek conference in Houston, saying enough to fossil fuels corporations and their financial enablers, like Vanguard. A report released by @foeus.bsky.social shows that Vanguard is #1 investor in 34 key petrochemical expansion projects in the US.

Yesterday we delivered a letter, with 30,188 signatures, calling on Vanguard to start investing responsibly. We were joined by @afsc-org.bsky.social, LA’s @risestjames.bsky.social and PA’s CRCQL, who shared how Vanguard’s investments are poisoning their air and making their communities sick

Check this out! From STMP and @eqat.bsky.social: Vanguard continues to cave to conservative pressure and refuses to acknowledge that climate change is a profound and systemic economic risk. #VanguardSOS buckscountybeacon.com/2026/03/opin...

New op-ed from EQAT's Communications and Research Manager, Eve, and @stopmoneypipeline.bsky.social's Campaign Manager, Nancy, in the @buckscountybeacon.com!

🚨 Fiona Greig, global head of investor research and policy at Vanguard‘s Investment Strategy Group, was presenting at the US Monetary Policy Forum this morning in NYC. So, we greeted attendees as they arrived for Greig’s panel. #VanguardSOS

The recent settlement in the case between Vanguard & a group of state attorneys general just underscores the chasm between Vanguard's values & action. Claiming passivity while financing fossil fuel expansion puts its customers’ futures at risk -- period. Read all about it: eqat.org/press-releas...

EQAT Director of Strategy and Partnerships, Lina, recently led a nonviolent direct action tactics and strategy training in CT for over 80 open, curious, and experimental people. It was a pleasure – thank you to Don’t Destroy Our Future and Wilton Friends Meeting for cosponsoring the training!

Did you know that over 1,700 institutions around the world have committed to divest over $40 trillion dollars from fossil fuels? That's close to half of global GDP!

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. 📈 And now we've got stickers that we want to share with you! Here’s how you get one:

EQAT is 15 years old! 🎂🎈🎉 Couldn't make it to our anniversary party in Philly? Here are some highlight moments from our panel of EQATers through the ages: youtu.be/8830WKAbm_g 📹 Filmed by Anthony, edited by Ray, background music is "Partly Sage" by Blue Dot Sessions (www.sessions.blue)

People power matters.

This is big!!

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!

Now's sure as good of a time as any to deepen or refresh our skills in spiritually-grounded nonviolent direct action! So, please join us on Sun 11/23 for our in person, interactive workshop at @friendsctr.bsky.social: www.eventbrite.com/e/building-s...

We're celebrating 15 years of EQAT and, as part of our community, you're invited! If you're near Philly, you can celebrate with us in person this Sun 11/9: secure.everyaction.com/ZUsgcSXWaUmA... And wherever you are, we invite you to donate: secure.everyaction.com/YtslO4jPaEmF... 🎂🎈🎉

📰 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-...

Yesterday, Vanguard had a shareholder meeting where it asked for permission to make 2 of its funds less diversified. Here's how we responded: eqat.org/press-releas...

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. #VanguardSOS

Through song, signs, speeches and more - @eqat.bsky.social confronted Vanguard once again at its’ headquarters in Malvern PA on September 10, 2025. #EQAT #FossilFuelFreeInvestment #IndigenousRightsPolicy www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLYT...

Thanks for your support of our work fighting mountaintop removal, working to power local green jobs, or pushing back on fossil fuel profiteers like Vanguard. We hope you can join us on Sun Nov 9 3-6pm in Philadelphia for our 15 year anniversary! secure.everyaction.com/ZUsgcSXWaUmA...

Earth Quaker Action Team is 15 years old – thanks to you! As part of our community, you are co-creators of what we’ve accomplished – and what we’ll achieve in the future. We’re honored to have been on this path with you, and we’d love to celebrate our joy, spirit, and hope together.

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.

Persistence for Existence: We showed up 3 times in 1 day to ask to Vanguard, the world's #1 investor in fossil fuels, to turn its ship around from industry laggard to responsible investor. www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLYT... 📹 by @ctcsky.bsky.social #VanguardSOS #NeverVanguard @afsc-org.bsky.social

As we prepare to celebrate our own anniversary, we're also celebrating 10 years of Philly Thrive -- community leaders and environmental justice champions shaping the city’s future for a healthier, more equitable city for ALL (www.phillythrive.org).

Persistence for Existence, we called it. After many months, literally thousands of contacts & no response yet, we walked up to the Vanguard executive office building & asked CEO Salim Ramji to meet with us. Vanguard responded to our request by having us arrested. eqat.org/press-releas...

In the morning, we went to Vanguard to ask to meet with CEO Salim Ramji. At lunchtime, we returned with more people to repeat our demands. And, in the evening, we visited Ramji’s home, to try to catch him as he was returning from work. We brought music with us, lifting our voices songfully.

In the morning, five of our F/friends went to the office building where Vanguard executives work to ask that CEO Salim Ramji meet with representatives of the #VanguardSOS campaign. Instead of speaking with them, Vanguard had the group arrested. eqat.org/press-releas...

🚨Happening now🚨 After many months of 1,000s of people contacting Vanguard, 5 people went to Vanguard’s executive office building today to request that CEO Salim Ramji meet with #VanguardSOS campaign representatives.

Get ready with me — well, us — as we prepare to take spirit-led nonviolent direct action at Vanguard, world’s largest investor in fossil fuels! #VanguardSOS #Faiths4ClimateJustice #SunDayofAction #SUNDay

After going to Vanguard CEO Salim Ramji’s home, we also visited President & CIO Greg Davis’s home to try to talk with him. No one was home, so we left our letter and a little gift. 1,000s of us have contacted Vanguard. We know they’re hearing us, so why aren’t we hearing from them? #VanguardSOS

A few of us went to Vanguard CEO Salim Ramji's home on his birthday to drop off a gift plus a letter asking him to meet with us. 1,000s of us have emailed, called & visited Vanguard's offices, bringing our campaign demands. We know they're hearing us, so why aren’t we hearing from them? #VanguardSOS

We know that so much is at stake – with increasing climate disasters & the gutting of climate protections – & we do not back down! ➡️Join us in action on Wed 9/10 at 12pm in PA at the world’s largest investor in fossil fuels, Vanguard.⬅️ More info & sign up: secure.everyaction.com/7UKP4BCoGEKV...

Vanguard CEO Salim Ramji told Morningstar that Vanguard's philosophy is that everyone should have access to investing and financial advice (www.morningstar.com/funds/salim-...). So, how does that hold up in practice? 1/4

This is tomorrow! Thursday, August 28th at 5:30PT / 8:30ET. See you there? www.mobilize.us/afsc/event/8... @afsc-org.bsky.social @oilgasaction.bsky.social @planetoverprofit.org

Big finance and tech corporations are fueling climate catastrophe, genocide, and the rise of authoritarianism. How can we hold these profiteers accountable, isolate their influence, and make them change?

Without the hundreds of billions of dollars that banks & investors provide coal, oil & gas, these polluting industries couldn’t continue on with business as usual. We demand change from those financing fossil fuel corporations, like Vanguard, No. 1 fossil fuel investor.

Shout out to our friends with @eqat.bsky.social! Climate activists are urging asset manager Vanguard to change course and adopt an Indigenous rights policy + divest from fossil fuels! 🛑 www.mychesco.com/a/news/socia...

Two banners appeared over a busy highway less than 1,000 ft away from Vanguard HQ, reminding Vanguard’s neighbors that the asset manager invests in our very destruction. Read more at www.mychesco.com/a/news/socia...

Behind the scenes of our banner drops near Vanguard, the world's #1 investor in fossil fuels Vanguard, make it possible for customers to save for retirement in ways that don’t jeopardize the future. Now's the time for company leadership to do what they can – for their customers, and for all of us!

Who wants to go to NYC next week for some powerful collective action? Many from the Gulf South are showing up to connect the impacts in their communities to the financiers profiting from these polluting industries. July 28 to Aug 1!

You can too!! eqat.org/never-vanguard/

Yet another "100 year flood" definitely not 100 years since the last one. We deserve to not only survive but to thrive, and we know we can win a better future. We demand action on climate and accountability for fossil fuel CEOs accelerating floods, fires, and fumes. Join us: eqat.org

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.
