🗳️ Right now, the most important climate elections you've (probably) never heard of are taking place, and it's time to act.
🏭 Every spring companies hold elections during their annual meetings. These little-known votes have a huge impact on the climate and our future.
🌎 What's on the ballot? Dozens of climate-related proposals that determine whether companies will act responsibly or continue their polluting practices.
💸 Who votes? Some of these companies' biggest investors are state pensions, which manage the retirements of teachers, firefighters, and more.
