During Climate Week, TIAA-Divest! joined a forum on industrial agriculture and went to TIAA HQ with TIAA participants to take the pledge: "TIAA, if you're still funding fossil fuels and agribusiness by 2026, I'll move my savings to a provider I can trust." There is no retirement on a dead planet!

Attending Climate Week 2025 in NYC? Join us at the Dump TIAA campaign launch. For 5 years we tried to negotiate — no more. If TIAA is still funding fossil fuels and agribusiness by 2026, we’ll move our savings to a provider we can trust.

Have you watched our webinar TIAA’s Climate Report Exposed: How your retirement savings are financing the climate crisis? We talk about how TIAA has funneled our savings into coal, oil and gas and turned vast tracts of forest & savanna into agro-industrial wastelands. tiaa-divest.org/webinar-tiaa...

Dogs for divestment!

TIAA-Divest! @tiaadivest.bsky.social · Aug 26

This #InternationalDogDay, our furry friends remind us what loyalty and love look like. Let’s show that same loyalty to the Earth by saying no to fossil fuels and no to land grabs. Together, we can build a future where all beings thrive. 💚🐶

It’s ironic, and arguably hypocritical, that TIAA warns clients about volatility and disaster risk, while simultaneously fueling the causes of both through massive fossil fuel investments. #TIAADivest

British Columbia healthcare workers are calling on the Municipal Pension Plan to divest from fossil fuels. They argue that the climate crisis is a health crisis, impacting their patients and communities, and that investing in fossil fuels contradicts their professional and moral standards.

Healthcare workers demand pension divestment from fossil fuels

As BC healthcare workers, we demand that the Municipal Pension Plan stop risking our retirement savings on the oil, gas and coal companies that are harming our health and fueling the climate crisis.

Have you seen TIAA’s latest greenwashing effort? They invest $78 billion in fossil fuels, furthering the climate crisis, but educate their customers on “protecting their finances from natural disasters.” Moreover, fossil fuels are volatile…
