Trump just canceled $1.5 billion in funding in states that didn't vote for him for projects like electric vehicles and buses that would save lives and reduce costs.

👀 If the NYC pension boards adopt the @nyccomptroller.bsky.social recommendations and move BlackRock's $42B mandate to other asset managers, it could be one of the most consequential climate-related actions ever taken by a pension fund in the US or anywhere in the world.
