Virginia’s pensions are funding genocide, and the VRS is silencing those who speak out.
A Virginia firefighter was violently arrested while simply delivering our divestment petition to the Virginia Retirement System Board of Trustees. The VRS will meet with corporations complicit in genocide but refuse to hear even one minute from the people actually funding the system.
While Palestinians are being killed with U.S.–made bombs, VRS invests over $300 million into the corporations that build and ship those weapons. VRS claims to serve the people of Virginia, yet it forcibly ties the livelihood of over 850,000 public employees to companies profiting off of mass murder.
As the firefighter said in the video:
“My fellow Virginians and I work for the betterment of our communities. We enrich our communities, and we want the funds and our pensions to reflect that. And we also believe that everyone should be able to have assurance that their retirement funds are not only secure but aligned with their values.”
