    Your Daily GAG: The Implications of Targeting BlackRock

    August 12, 2016

     

     
    James Militzer's piece "Weekly Roundup: The Death of a Salesman, a Megaphone for Mom, and a Target on BlackRock" summarizes our ‪#‎dropthegunstocks demand. It also addresses BlackRock's (“BR”) insufficient response that was included in the Fortune Magazine article to our demand:

     

    BR argues that it is required to manage gun stocks/ funds.

     

    Read: our hands are tied.

     

    BR also argues that they are socially responsible as their actively managed portfolios which exclude firearms among other things shows this.

     

    Read: don't look at that the dirt under the rug.

     

    Again, insufficient:

     

    Militzer ends with several provocative questions connected to broadening the divestment front.

     

    Our reply: It's time the curtain was pulled back on the lesser known key players who are equally complicit in gun violence and, by extension, conduits for death.

     

    GAG is watching.
