I call on Franklin Templeton, JPMorgan Chase, Fidelity Investments, Capital Group (American Funds), Vanguard, and other firms to divest from companies that help fund genocide in Darfur.
Divest for Darfur:
Are Your Life Savings Taking Life?
Millions of investors are unaware that their savings are invested in companies that help fund genocide in Darfur.
Many U.S.-based investment firms own shares in companies such as PetroChina, a Chinese oil company whose parent company, CNPC, fills the coffers of the Sudanese government and helping fund the its actions in Darfur.
Is PetroChina Really the Same as CNPC?
In the past, some claimed that PetroChina was a separate company and therefore not to blame for the funding of genocide in Darfur. In fact, PetroChina is more than just a subsidiary of CNPC - it is an integral part of CNPC. As detailed in the links below, the companies share top managers and billions of dollars are transferred between the companies.
