Over the past few months, the Climate-Safe Retirement Funds campaign has gained real momentum. We’ve launched bold initiatives, packed out webinars and action hours, spotlighted frontline resistance, and helped people across the country start reclaiming their retirement savings from climate destruction.

Here’s the bottom line: Retirement funds are deferred wages. They belong to working people—not fossil fuel companies, and not the Wall Street titans fueling climate chaos. And yet, trillions of dollars in pensions and 401(k)s are still invested in oil, gas, and coal—putting our planet and our financial futures at risk.

That’s where we come in.

We’re organizing to cut fossil fuels out of retirement portfolios and reinvest in a world that actually has a future.

✅ What We’ve Accomplished So Far in 2025

🛠️ Hosted Action Hours – equipping workers to demand fossil-free funds from plan providers and HR departments
🏥 Spotlighted the First Do No Harm campaign – exposing how U.S. hospitals have billions tied up in fossil fuels, and mobilizing healthcare professionals to demand change
📢 Put real tools in people’s hands – from DIY action kits to coworker organizing guides, we’re helping people take control of their financial future

🔥 Up Next: Taking On Vanguard

On June 4, we’re turning up the heat with our next major campaign spotlight: the Vanguard S.O.S. campaign, led by Earth Quaker Action Team and Stop the Money Pipeline.
Vanguard is one of the largest asset managers in the world—and one of the most dangerous when it comes to climate. They’re dumping billions into fossil fuel companies and voting against climate action at every turn.
