More updates from Investors Against Genocide

We believe that the unprecedented outpouring of support for genocide-free investing that was demonstrated by the shareholder votes at Fidelity greatly increases the probability that another investment firm will voluntarily commit to genocide-free investing.We are now working to engage other mutual fund companies both privately and publicly and will keep you posted on progress.

We also continue to recruit volunteers to submit our genocide-free shareholder proposal to as many mutual funds and as many mutual fund companies as possible.We are particularly interested in more submissions at American Funds, Franklin Templeton, and Barclays. If you own shares of these or other mutual funds, please join this historic effort for genocide-free investing. Even if you can’t volunteer, you can help by recruiting friends and family members to do so.It is easy to submit a proposal. Click here to learn how.

Thanks for your ongoing support.
