DESCRIPTION:CALL TO ACTION: CalPERS Members & CA Taxpayers & Everyone Make Your Voices 
 Heard \n\nMAKE A PUBLIC COMMENT: CALPERS DIVEST FROM TESLA!\n\nYOUR VOICE 
 MATTERS!\n\nCalifornia's public employee pension funds, CalPERS and 
 CalSTRS, reported substantially more than $2 billion in holdings of Tesla 
 stock combined as of their most recent reports.\n\nTesla’s financial 
 instability, erratic leadership, and political volatility make continued 
 investment increasingly risky.\n\nAs stewards of public retirement funds, 
 CalPERS and CalSTRS also carry a moral responsibility to uphold the values 
 of public service and democracy. Investing in a company that undermines 
 labor rights and civil freedoms directly contradicts the mission of the 
 public institutions we serve. Divesting from Tesla is both a financial 
 imperative and a principled stand for the future we’re working so hard to 
 build.\n\nTell CalPERS to sell TSLA, all of it, now!\n\nWe'll be presenting 
 the CalPERS governing board with more signatures and personal statements on 
 a petition (please sign if you haven't already!) to divest from Tesla. It's 
 already been signed by more than 1500 CalSTRS and CalPERS members and 
 California taxpayers.\n\nAnyone can attend, observe, and speak, either in 
 person or by watching the webcast and phoning in to 800-259-4105 during the 
 public comment period. Every California taxpayer has a stake in the 
 solvency of CalPERS.\n\nThe CalPERS board meeting begins at 9:15 a.m. and 
 lasts all day, including some public and some closed sessions. Public 
 comment is item 5(g) of the Investment Committee agenda. Public comment is 
 tentatively expected to start around 1:15 p.m. but could be earlier or 
 later. Bring a book and be prepared to wait!\n\nIt’s about a 20-minute 
 (0.8 mile) walk to the CalPERS complex ("Lincoln Plaza") in downtown 
 Sacramento from the Sacramento Amtrak station.\n\n
