DESCRIPTION:Event details: https://xrboston.org/action/blackrock-report-ca
 rd-rebellion-part-2/\n\n[PLEASE NOTE\, this is a two-part event\, we encou
 rage you 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 and 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\, revealin
 g that both asset managers wielded their considerable shareholder power to
  block the boards of directors of ExxonMobil\, Duke Energy\, General Motor
 s\, Ford\, and Dominion Energy from facing accountability on climate chang
 e\, prioritizing short-termism over the creation of long-term shareholder 
 value. BlackRock\, one of the two largest asset managers in the world\, wa
 s also a top shareholder at each of those companies at the time of their s
 hareholder meetings.  Instead of using their power to promote leadership o
 n climate change\, BlackRock is using it to shield industries driving the 
 climate 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 SEC) This scorecard is the impetus and inspiration for this action.\nT
 IME FOR TEACHING SOME LESSONS!\n\nWe’ll meet at Carmen Park\, corner of 
 Congress and North St\, at 7:30 am and again at 4:30 pm. We will then proc
 eed as a group to our location in front of BlackRock’s offices at 60 Sta
 te St. where “school will be in session” and we’ll be “giving less
 ons” from 8 to 9 am and again from 5 to 6 pm. We'll be handing out repor
 t cards on the terrible voting record BlackRock has among other big proble
 ms and "schooling" BlackRock employees on their way in and out as well as 
 the public passing by. Please note the two different times we will be gath
 ering. You are welcome to join either or both.\n\nThis action is being led
  by our friends\, Mothers Out Front with support from Extinction Rebellion
 . Using the Climate Scorecard as a jumping off point\, Mothers Out Front a
 re designing a “report card/school” theme that promises to be impactfu
 l\, engaging 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://medi
