I Support:
Save Darfur




Divest for Darfur

January 22, 2009

So, here's the deal:

there is a company called PetroChina that contributes directly to the insane-ness in Darfur. And many of America's financial institutions support PetroChina, are investing large sums of money into PetroChina. So, essentially, if you have money invested through JP Morgan Chase, Capitol Group, Fidelity, or others (see notes and sources), then your money is helping destroy lives in Darfur. The craziest part is that the US gas companies are barred from investing or working in that area, but American investment banks are allowed to invest in their competitors doing exactly that in the region.

so, here's what i did, and what you can do. Sign the pledge to call those financial companies away from investing in companies like PetroChina.
