Monthly Meeting: Divest Philly from the War Machine
2026-12-06 14:30 - 15:30 (America/New_York) | Zoom
We’re campaigning to divest Philly from nukes. Four of the financial institutions that manage the Pension Board’s assets — Lord Abbett High Yield, Ariel Capital Holdings, Fiera Capital, and Northern Trust — collectively have billions invested in nuclear weapons. We’re urging the Philadelphia Board of Pensions to instruct these asset managers to exclude the top nuclear weapons producers from the City’s holdings.
Join us on the 1st Sunday of the month at 2:30pm-3:30pm on Zoom to learn more about the Divest Philly from the War Machine campaign and how to get involved. Please contact Greta at greta@worldbeyondwar.org for more information and the Zoom link.
