We finished filing two more #ShareholderResolutions for our members at #Alphabet. One asks for an independent assessment of the Board’s oversight of material risks to public well-being. The second is in its 2nd year and asks for a human rights assessment of Alphabet’s plans to establish a regional data center in #SaudiArabia, managed by S. Aramco. The Saudis placed spies on Twitter’s staff to spy on their opposition - this hands them the keys! #ShareholderActivism

@qatalystgroup talk #ESG #ShareholderActivism & what to expect this #proxy season. Topics: universal proxy cards, new voting policies & how to prep your #board. https://law.stanford.edu/event/preparing-for-esg-shareholder-activism/

The (mild) #Tesla shareholder resolution I submitted has been accepted. I'd say "accepted for inclusion in the proxy materials", except that they still might fight it (they successfully fought one off from me last year). Fingers crossed.

#ShareholderActivism

@RichardSiggs If you encounter Tesla shareholders, consider trying to convince them to get involved in #ShareholderActivism to weaken Elon's control over the company (he only owns 17%; retirement funds own most of it. His control is simply due to others being too afraid to check his power). I'd be willing to assist them in drafting and submitting resolutions.

@Tob_Sch I look forward to (and actually am working to bring about, via #ShareholderActivism) #Musk getting kicked off the board and out of the CEO role.

But this has nothing whatsoever to do with *the car*. Which remains *by far* the best vehicle I have ever purchased or even driven. Wonderful ownership experience, and my next car will definitely be a #Tesla as well.

@TheExecutiveEditor This wouldn't happen overnight. But over the course of years it would slowly rot the company from within. That's why, while I'm very positive on Tesla's status and future, I think it's important to decreasingly separate #ElonMusk from being the public face of #Tesla. #CTO is fine. But it's damaging to be seen as "The #Elon Company" when he's acting this way in public.

It's why I'm involved in #ShareholderActivism

@josephby Hmm. Without looking things up:

* He was at nearly 1/4th of Tesla shares last I checked - did he really go down that far? Haven't checked.

* Weren't supermajority provisions overturned?

* He has no current pay package.

That said, yes, I strongly encourage #ShareholderActivism activism, and will even help other #Tesla stockholders draft and submit resolutions.

I wrote this over on #Birdsite, but since there's a different crowd here, it bears repeating:

For any #Tesla shareholders who want to see change at Tesla:

Send me a DM and I'll help you craft and submit a shareholder proposal for inclusion in the next proxy statement (final date: 22 December, but don't wait).

I have some experience on this front.

@geosocialcoop "These co-op share clubs would reinvest profits back into expanding the mutual ownership proportion over time."

Would this make sense as a collaborative scope of action for the #coop investment club movement? 🤔
