Protect Your Voice as a Shareholder!

Shareholder resolutions are a powerful way for investors large and small to encourage corporations to take action on important social, environmental, and good governance resolutions. In recent years, shareholder resolutions, under Rule 14a-8, allowed stockholders to raise vital issues like climate change, workplace discrimination, and human rights. These shareholder resolutions go to all of a company’s stockholders and encourage many companies to improve their conduct.

Recently, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued proposed rules for public comment that will open the door to eroding shareholder rights.  These new rules could make it more difficult for shareholders, particularly individual shareholders, to file resolutions and make it easier for corporations to eliminate such resolutions.

The SEC needs to hear from thousands of concerned investors that a rollback of shareholder rights won’t be tolerated.  Send an email using the customizable letter below to the SEC by October 1, and make your voice heard!
