CalPERS pension board meeting - Divest from Tesla!

Divest from Tesla!

California's public employee pension funds, CalPERS and CalSTRS, reported substantially more than $2 billion in holdings of Tesla stock combined as of their most recent reports.

Tell CalPERS to sell TSLA, all of it, now!

You can make comments in person, or you can watch the livestream and phone 800-259-4105 to comment remotely, during the Chief Investment Officer's report -- the first item on the agenda.

We'll be presenting the board with a petition (please sign if you haven't already!) to divest from Tesla. It's already been signed by more than a thousand CalPERS and CalSTRS members and California taxpayers.

Tesla’s financial instability, erratic leadership, and political volatility make continued investment increasingly risky.

As stewards of public retirement funds, CalPERS and CalSTRS also carry a moral responsibility to uphold the values of public service and democracy. Investing in a company that undermines labor rights and civil freedoms directly contradicts the mission of the public institutions we serve. Divesting from Tesla is both a financial imperative and a principled stand for the future we’re working so hard to build.

Anyone can attend, observe, and speak during the public comment periods, in person or by phone.

Every California taxpayer has a stake in the solvency of CalPERS. We'll have statements you can read on behalf of CalPERS members from throughout the state who can't be there in person, if you aren't sure what to say.
