EQAT is Quaker Friends and friends of friends, working today to build a just and sustainable economy through nonviolent direct action. www.eqat.org
As many of Vanguard President & CIO Greg Davis’s friends and peers arrived at the fundraising gala, they were greeted by EQATers holding banners and signs calling on Davis and Vanguard to do better and invest like they actually care about our children’s futures.

What does it mean for Vanguard President & CIO Greg Davis to raise money for children’s healthcare when his day job is leading the world’s largest investor in fossil fuels? What kind of legacy is he leaving for the next generation?
November 3, 2025 at 10:05 PM
Why’d we go to the fundraising gala of the Children’s Hospital of Pennsylvania? It wasn’t an action against the gala; we went to call out Greg Davis, President & CIO of Vanguard, who is also chairman of the board of CHOP.

A few of us decided to swing by Vanguard CEO Salim Ramji's apartment building one evening, to see if we could catch him on his way home. We didn’t get to talk to Ramji this time, but we’ll keep coming back until Vanguard makes courageous decisions – for its customers, for the planet, for all of us.
October 24, 2025 at 8:51 PM
So, more of us showed up at the Vanguard offices. We rallied, sang & held silent worship, calling on Vanguard to invest for a livable future. Then, not having gotten to talk to CEO Ramji yet, a few of us went to his apartment building in song, to see if we could catch him on his way home.

We persist for existence, morning, noon, and night. We’ll keep showing up until Vanguard makes courageous decisions – for its customers and for all of us.

Vanguard is the world’s largest investor in fossil fuels, with $444 billion of its customers’ money in coal, oil, and gas – and $184 billion of that just in fossil fuel expansion! Science tells us with resounding clarity that we must not keep extracting and burning more fossil fuels.
September 12, 2025 at 7:57 PM
In the morning, we went to Vanguard to ask to meet with CEO Salim Ramji. At lunchtime, we returned with more people to repeat our demands. And, in the evening, we visited Ramji’s home, to try to catch him as he was returning from work. We brought music with us, lifting our voices songfully.
September 12, 2025 at 7:57 PM
As the world’s largest investor in fossil fuels and one of the worst when it comes to asking portfolio companies to do better, Vanguard especially has a responsibility to do what it can to invest for a safe and healthy future.

So, in the afternoon, many more of us showed up at Vanguard to rally in support of those arrested and reiterate the request for Vanguard leaders to meet with campaign representatives. We shared song, speeches, and silent worship.

When asked again for a meeting, Vanguard had the group, ages 22 to 72, arrested by local police. Vanguard, why are you scared of people in matching t-shirts? 🤔

🚨Happening now🚨 After many months of 1,000s of people contacting Vanguard, 5 people went to Vanguard’s executive office building today to request that CEO Salim Ramji meet with #VanguardSOS campaign representatives.
September 10, 2025 at 7:41 PM
Get ready with me — well, us — as we prepare to take spirit-led nonviolent direct action at Vanguard, world’s largest investor in fossil fuels!

After going to Vanguard CEO Salim Ramji’s home, we also visited President & CIO Greg Davis’s home to try to talk with him. No one was home, so we left our letter and a little gift.
1,000s of us have contacted Vanguard. We know they’re hearing us, so why aren’t we hearing from them? #VanguardSOS

A few of us went to Vanguard CEO Salim Ramji's home on his birthday to drop off a gift plus a letter asking him to meet with us. 1,000s of us have emailed, called & visited Vanguard's offices, bringing our campaign demands. We know they're hearing us, so why aren’t we hearing from them? #VanguardSOS

It caught my attention that Vanguard claims to be for democratic investing when we know it's unresponsive to requests to talk from some of its institutional customers -- and it refuses to address the very real threats to customers' long-term investments from climate change. 2/4

Who wants to go to NYC next week for some powerful collective action? Many from the Gulf South are showing up to connect the impacts in their communities to the financiers profiting from these polluting industries. July 28 to Aug 1!

As Vanguard celebrates its 50th anniversary, we showed up to share the news with employees that customers have moved out more than $50 million – and growing! – because Vanguard keeps investing in pollution, unnatural disasters, and instability.

We went to Vanguard’s HQ to share the news that more and more people are moving their money out because of Vanguard’s inaction on climate change – over $55 million moved and counting! 📈

💸 We've moved over $55 million out of Vanguard because of its inaction on climate change! That amount will continue to grow until Vanguard makes meaningful changes in its investment and engagement practices. (If you’ve moved your money, make sure to add to the total here: eqat.org/never-vanguard/)

📞 The skills we learn at EQAT ripple out far and wide. Recently, we received a call for support from the organizers of the Hands Off! protest in Philadelphia. Did we have any experienced marshals who could join in helping to keep those marching safe? The answer was yes! 1/5
