South Carolina\u2019s treasurer Curtis Loftis said he would remove $200 million of state retirement funds from BlackRock control by December. Louisiana\u2019s treasurer John Schroder told&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/41de28af-a487-473e-bc17-5e8cb71f4ced\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"the-tide-is-turning-against-woke-capitalism\" title=\"The Tide Is Turning Against 'Woke Capitalism'\"><strong>Financial Times<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;that he would divest $794 million from BlackRock as well. Additionally, Utah and Arkansas committed to pull $100 million and $125 million, respectively, from BlackRock over concerns that the firm prioritizes ESG principles over sound fiduciary management of state funds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Utah\u2019s State Treasurer Marlo Oaks said, \u201cWe need to ensure that the money is not being used to drive a separate agenda different from our obligation\u201d to maximize benefits to Utah residents, not left-wing climate agendas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Legal Look<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The ESG pushback doesn\u2019t end there. In early August, 19 state attorneys general (AG) sent a joint&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.texasattorneygeneral.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/executive-management\/BlackRock%20Letter.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"the-tide-is-turning-against-woke-capitalism\" title=\"The Tide Is Turning Against 'Woke Capitalism'\"><strong>letter<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;to BlackRock CEO Larry Fink voicing similar concerns that the company\u2019s ESG agenda hampers its ability to deliver a maximum return on investment (ROI) for its shareholders. Given BlackRock\u2019s substantial influence in the investment management industry, state-level officials describe the firm\u2019s wholesale commitment to leftist ideals as antidemocratic, irresponsible, opportunistic and possibly even illegal under various state laws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\" id=\"attachment_39004\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"The Tide Is Turning Against 'Woke Capitalism'\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nssf.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/ESGAgendaConcerns.png\" alt=\"Map of U.S. highlighting 19 states where AGs have voiced concerns about BlackRocks ESG agenda.\" class=\"wp-image-39004\" \/><figcaption>19 state attorneys general (AG) sent a joint letter to BlackRock CEO Larry Fink voicing concerns about the company\u2019s ESG agenda<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cRather than being a spectator betting on the game,\u201d the AGs write, \u201cBlackRock appears to have put on a quarterback jersey and actively taken the field.

The past few years saw some of the nation\u2019s largest banks and financial institutions generate \u201cwoke\u201d policies targeting firearm and ammunition manufacturers. Specifically, JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, Bank of America, and Wells Fargo have\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nssf.org\/articles\/waking-up-to-woke-corporate-discrimination\/?hilite=bank+america\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"the-tide-is-turning-against-woke-capitalism\" title=\"The Tide Is Turning Against 'Woke Capitalism'\"><strong>all adopted discriminatory policies unfairly denying financial services<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0to firearm-related businesses simply because they don\u2019t like the overwhelmingly popular firearms that these American companies lawfully make. Like Blackrock, these banks have shirked their fiduciary responsibilities in favor of pressuring legal firearm manufacturers to not make, for example, Modern Sporting Rifles (MSRs). The audacity for these companies to circumvent current law and roleplay as an elected lawmaker is as astounding as it is insulting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/sorry-gun-control-voters-dont-love-your-pet-issue\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"the-tide-is-turning-against-woke-capitalism\" title=\"The Tide Is Turning Against 'Woke Capitalism'\">Sorry Gun Control.
