Divest Pension Funds from Fossil Fuels!
Union members work hard to secure pension plans that will protect their futures, but by keeping those plans invested in fossil fuel production, the long-term security for pension participants and our planet is threatened.
Members of the Screen Actors Guild–American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) labor union are joining the fight to retire Big Oil by calling for the complete divestment of their pension plans from fossil fuels. And for anyone with a retirement plan, pension, or 401(k)—this is about your money too.
With over $5 billion in assets—and at least $100 million tied up in fossil fuels—the SAG-Producers Pension Plan has the power to lead by example and make climate-safe investments. Sign the petition >>
Why is this important?
The entertainment industry is full of storytellers, and the story of pensions and retirement funds should not be one of climate destruction and financial risk. Fossil fuel investments are becoming increasingly unstable, and continuing to back them spells long-term destruction for everyone.
The performers and artists who fuel the entertainment industry deserve a pension fund that aligns with the world they’re working to build, both on set and off.
In solidarity with performers and artists across the country, we urge you to:
- Divest pension plans from fossil fuel companies—including those involved in extraction, pipelines, and related services
- Reinvest at least 10% of assets into climate-safe, socially responsible funds within the next five years
- Build transparency and open up meaningful opportunities for member input on where our money goes
SAG-AFTRA can secure a sustainable future for its members—and lead the way for other unions to follow suit. Sign the petition to show the movement of workers on our side, advocating for investments that keep our planet safe, center environmental justice, and protect all of us.
