Vanguard and BlackRock: Get Homeland Security Out of My Portfolio
CoreCivic is the largest owner and operator of ICE and Border Patrol detention facilities. It has a record of abusing detainees. And if you have invested money with Vanguard or BlackRock, you may be unwittingly supporting it; Robert Reich reports that these two firms are the controversial private prison company’s largest shareholders, owning almost a third of its shares.
Tell Vanguard's and BlackRock's Boards of Directors to SELL their positions in CoreCivic.
We have plenty of other choices when deciding who to entrust with our money.
