On August 20th, Virginians attended the VRS Investment Advisory Committee in Richmond to deliver the No Pensions for Genocide Petition. For over 3 weeks, several hundred emails have been sent to VRS board members, demanding they divest from war and genocide. At this meeting, they reported a net profit, increasing the value of the fund to a record high of $122.8 billion in market value. When presented with the petition, they treated the voices of Virginians as insignificant, and dismissively said they would take the petition “under advisement”. Further advisement would only convey what Virginians have already made clear: no profits over people. They reject VRS’s culture of generating profit without limit, and at a great cost to humanity.
