DESCRIPTION:Event details: https://xrboston.org/action/black-rock-report-c
 ard-rebellion/\n\n[PLEASE NOTE\, this is a two-part event\, we encourage y
 ou to come to one or the other or both. They are both on 9/17\; one is at 
 7:30am and the other is at 4:30pm.]\n\nBlackRock’s report card is out an
 d it’s time to school BlackRock on responsible corporate behavior.\n\nOn
  August 30th\, BlackRock and other top asset managers filed with the SEC\,
  as required by law\, their 2018–2019 shareholder votes\, revealing that
  both asset managers wielded their considerable shareholder power to block
  the boards of directors of ExxonMobil\, Duke Energy\, General Motors\, Fo
 rd\, and Dominion Energy from facing accountability on climate change\, pr
 ioritizing short-termism over the creation of long-term shareholder value.
  BlackRock\, one of the two largest asset managers in the world\, was also
  a top shareholder at each of those companies at the time of their shareho
 lder meetings.  Instead of using their power to promote leadership on clim
 ate change\, BlackRock is using it to shield industries driving the climat
 e crisis from accountability. (1)\n\nWhy September 17th? This is the date 
 when the Majority Actions/Climate Majority Project releases its 2019 Asset
  Manager Climate Scorecard (based on what asset managers filed with the SE
 C) This scorecard is the impetus and inspiration for this action.\nTIME FO
 R TEACHING SOME LESSONS!\n\nWe’ll meet at Carmen Park\, corner of Congre
 ss and North St\, at 7:30 am and again at 4:30 pm. We will then proceed as
  a group to our location in front of BlackRock’s offices at 60 State St.
  where “school will be in session” and we’ll be “giving lessons”
  from 8 to 9 am and again from 5 to 6 pm. We'll be handing out report card
 s on the terrible voting record BlackRock has among other big problems and
  "schooling" BlackRock employees on their way in and out as well as the pu
 blic passing by. Please note the two different times we will be gathering.
  You are welcome to join either or both.\n\nThis action is being led by ou
 r friends\, Mothers Out Front with support from Extinction Rebellion. Usin
 g the Climate Scorecard as a jumping off point\, Mothers Out Front are des
 igning a “report card/school” theme that promises to be impactful\, en
 gaging and educational. More details to follow. Let us know if you’ll be
  part of our morning or afternoon class or both!\n\n1 https://medium.com/m
