Vanguard invests in many polluting industries along the Delaware River, especially in Chester. That’s why we are gathering with Chester Residents Concerned for Quality Living to launch the Never Vanguard Pledge – to highlight the real, human cost of putting profit over people and the planet!

Whether we are saving for retirement or barely making ends meet, we all want our families to thrive. Unfortunately, a greedy few want to keep profiting for as long as possible from fossil fuels and other polluting industries, despite high asthma rates, toxic spills, and increasing natural disasters. By joining together–people from different generations, faiths, and means–we can win a future with clean air, clean water, and a livable planet for all of us, no exceptions.

Want to move your money out of Vanguard, but need some support in navigating the choices? Come join us on Zoom for community and resource sharing. Although EQAT is not able to give specific financial advice, we will share the sources we’ve learned about and make space for participants to share their feelings, questions, and own answers about what to do with the funds you are taking out of the world’s #1 investor in fossil fuels. Please note the webinar is on Eastern time.

We’ve been urging Vanguard to change from its dangerous course, and instead it clings to a business model that pollutes communities and fuels catastrophic climate change. We refuse to remain complicit with the world’s #1 investor in fossil fuels. At this action, we will announce the amount of the first wave of money moved out of Vanguard and encourage more Vanguard customers to do the same.

While Quakers from different parts of the United States gather in Oregon and take action together, EQAT will hold a concurrent action in Pennsylvania at Vanguard's Malvern, PA headquarters. Please RSVP now to keep updated on details as they emerge!

EQAT has been hearing from Quakers across the country that they are ready to move money out of Vanguard. That's why we will be holding an action during the Friends General Conference Gathering, which brings together Quakers from across North America and beyond. We will gather Thursday, July 6 after lunch, somewhere on the campus in Monmouth, Oregon, and travel 12 miles to the state capital, Salem. We are still working out the details. Please RSVP now if you will be in Oregon at that time, so we can keep you in the loop! The time listed is Pacific time.

This meeting will be held via an online platform. RSVP below for the link to join the meeting.
