By pouring money into Exxon and other oil & gas corporations, NYS comptroller Tom DiNapoli has financed our state’s destruction. That’s nuts!
And in the process he’s managed to lose the NY state pension fund many billions of dollars b/c those investments suck.
Why refuse to #DivestNY, DiNapoli?!

New York State's Teacher fund would be $6 billion better funded. Surprisingly they haven't divested even though their sister fund the CRF is divesting and New York City has already divested $4 billion from coal, oil and gas.
NYSTRS why are you a laggard?

Breaking: A promise made is a promise fulfilled. New York City completes divestment of $3 billion from 150+ fossil fuel companies. Releases full list.
If New York can do it, every pension fund can and should. #Divest

Recently released figures on how the New York State Teachers Fund increased coal investments to $300 million "could increase the momentum behind a bill currently being considered by state lawmakers which would" force #divestment of NYSTRS.

It's 2021. How can a state pension fund increase its investments in coal? To the tune of $300+ million?
It's time to #DivestNY Teachers Fund from #coal and other fossil fuels.
