About Divest for Darfur
Divest for Darfur is a national campaign to encourage investment firms, especially JP Morgan, Franklin Templeton, Fidelity Investments, Capital Group (American Funds), and Vanguard, to withdraw investments from companies that help fund genocide in Darfur.
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, is filling the coffers of the Sudanese government and helping fund the government’s actions in Darfur.
Our campaign focuses on the five U.S.-based mutual fund companies that hold the largest shares in PetroChina, as of their most recent filings reported by Bloomberg on August 1, 2007.
- Franklin Templeton
- JP Morgan Chase
- Capital Group/American Funds
- Fidelity
- Vanguard
The Divest for Darfur campaign follows the targeted divestment model. You can learn more about this model on this website and through our partner organization, The Sudan Divestment Task Force.
