Superbad 14 – Divest Now
This is the campaign page for divestment from the Superfund’s 14 worst corporations.
Divestment from the “Super Bad 14″. The New Zealand Superannuation Fund has millions of dollars invested in some really rotten corporations, the worst ones have been identified by a coalition of NGOs as what could be called the “Super Bad 14″, a collection of nuclear companies, cluster bomb companies, Freeport McMoran (pillaging West Papua), Exxon Mobil (climate denier) and Total Oil (supports the Burmese junta). In solidarity with the West Papuan and Burmese people’s movements and all who struggle against nuclear holocaust and endless war we should not allow our taxpayer dollars to be used in this way.
