SUMMARY:Earth Day protest against Black Rock
DESCRIPTION:Protest at BlackRock’s Edinburgh offices on Earth Day\nJoin XR Scotland\, Christian Climate Action\, Scottish Palestine Solidarity Campaign and other groups on Earth Day\, Wednesday 22nd April.\n \nBlack Rocks is using its vast power and wealth to fund three crimes against life and humanity: Climate Breakdown\, AI\, War and Genocide. \nBlackRock is the world’s largest investment asset manager. Its $11.6 trillion assets under management are roughly worth the same as the ten wealthiest countries in the world. \nBlack Rock must stop crushing life and humanity. \nWhy BlackRock?\nCrime 1: Black Rock is funding climate breakdown\nBlackRock is a top shareholder in major U.S. fossil fuel companies\, including ExxonMobil\, Chevron\, and ConocoPhillips. \nBlackRock is the second largest institutional investor in fossil fuels overall with $400 billion worth of investments in the industry. \nCrime 2: Black Rock is funding war and genocide\nBlackRock invests hugely in arms companies directly aiding the Gaza genocide such as Elbit Systems\, Lockheed Martin\, Boeing and Raytheon. \nA UN report in July exposed BlackRock’s complicity in funding arms\, surveillance and energy companies directly aiding the Israeli governments assault on the Palestinians. The report highlights BlackRock’s part in a “joint criminal enterprise” to profit from genocide. \nCrime 3: Black Rock is funding death by AI\nBlackRock\, the world’s largest asset manager\, is listed as the second largest institutional investor in Palantir. Lethal applications of Palantir’s AI technology includes its role in Israel’s campaign of mass slaughter in Gaza and in aiding ICE in locating subjects for deportation. \nBlackRock is investing billions in hyperscale data centre infrastructure. This is driven by the surging energy demands of artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud computing.
