Chicago is currently investing taxpayer dollars in the War Machine through its pension funds, which are invested in weapons manufacturers and war profiteers.
Thankfully, Alderman Carlos Ramirez-Rosa has introduced a resolution into the Chicago City Council to #Divest from War!
📧Email and ☎️Call your Alderperson asking them to support the Chicago City Council Resolution to #DivestFromWar!
The Municipal Employees' Annuity & Benefit Fund (MEABF) is managed by groups that hold direct investments in weapons manufacturers, including but not limited to Segall Bryant & Hamill, Parametric, Neuberger Berman, JPMorgan, and Acadian. These investments prop up violence and militarism both at home and abroad, a direct contradiction to what should be the City’s primary role of protecting the health and well-being of its residents.
