April 20, 2017 @ 11:30 am - 1:00 pm

Join us Thursday from 11:30 to 1PM to rally during our national week of action delivering our petition to the local TIAA headquarters in NYC to demand they stop funding deforestation and grabbing land!

Meet at Saint Agnus Church 143 East 43rd Street (between Lex and 3rd) and walk with us to the TIAA headquarters (730 Third Avenue, between 45th and 46th street).

Look up your local TIAA office here: https://www.tiaa.org/public/support/contact-us/find-tiaa

TIAA, one of the largest pension fund management companies in the U.S., prides itself on upholding socially responsible values. Unfortunately, TIAA is linked to land deals that are anything but transparent. It is involved in agricultural enterprises that force farmers off land, drive deforestation, exacerbate climate change and contribute to human rights violations.


We’re calling for a week of action to TIAA make sure to hear our demands loud and clear!
