Email update on helping get out the vote for genocide-free investing

Proxies have been mailed and votes are now being cast by shareholders of 19 Fidelity mutual funds. The proposal before these shareholders is whether the funds should avoid investments in companies that substantially contribute to genocide. Fidelity recommends a vote AGAINST this proposal.

Please help to get the word out to the hundreds of thousands of people who own shares in these 19 funds. Many people are unaware of the shareholder proposal and will miss their chance to vote. See below for ways you can help.

Also, if you are a Fidelity customer in any of the relevant funds, we urgently need your input. We are receiving reports from shareholders who have had difficulty voting. Fidelity's lawyers have assured us that the problems have been addressed but we need you to confirm whether this is the case.

If you have voted, or tried to vote, please click here to fill out a brief survey or email us at info@InvestorsAgainstGenocide.org.

If you have not yet tried to vote, please do so and then fill out the survey or contact us. Click here for current voting instructions.

We also need all supporters to help us "get out the vote." Here's how you can help:

Write a letter to the editor of your local paper. Most local weekly newspapers (not the large metropolitan dailies) will publish all letters to the editor received from town residents. You can easily find the email address by searching for your paper on the Internet. You will most likely find instructions on submitting a letter to the editor in the "Opinion" section. To make it easy, we've drafted a sample letter. Click here for a letter you can just cut and paste into an email and send to your hometown paper.

Tell your friends. Click here for an email you can cut and paste to send to your contact list.

Make a donation. We have the opportunity to send a mailing to targeted Fidelity shareholders but lack the necessary funding. We know that once ordinary investors become aware that their savings are being used to fund genocide, they will vote overwhelmingly in favor of genocide-free investing. A mailing to shareholders would allow us to directly reach those with the power to vote. We need to raise $20,000 over the next two weeks to finance this mailing. We are a volunteer-based organization so 100% of your contribution will go directly to voter outreach. Click here to contribute.

Thank you for your ongoing support of genocide-free investing.

With appreciation,

The IAG team
