Alexandria: Invest better!
Alexandria should invest better!
Let’s pass an Ethical Investment Resolution that supports human rights and lives up to our community values. We can lead the way in our state and region.
Stop investing in genocide and ecocide!
Lockheed Martin is enabling war crimes and ecological destruction. Its notorious F-35 fighter jets were used to drop a 2,000 pound bomb on a so-called safe zone in Gaza, killing at least 90 Palestinian civilians sheltering in tents. These deadly jets consume a devastating 22 gallons of jet fuel per minute. Lockheed weapons have decimated ecosystems all over the world.
Alphabet provides AI and tech services to surveil communities and facilitate ICE detentions, which have skyrocketed 470% in recent months in Virginia. Through its AI systems, Alphabet is implicated in war crimes, including targeting thousands of civilian homes and providing automated kill lists to the Israeli military.
Stop unethical city contracts!
Amazon surveils its workers to increase productivity and prevent unionization at any cost. Its warehouse workforce suffers injuries at rates much higher than the national average.
Like Alphabet, Amazon provides tech to ICE to facilitate abductions. Both operate data centers that decimate water sources in drought prone communities.
Let’s invest in companies that offer us and our children a brighter, safer, and kinder future. Read our full report here.
