Working Together to Protect
Our Common Resources

Hello TSC friends and supporters! We wanted to reach out with a special middle-of-the-month message to highlight two engagement opportunities to help advance the movement towards a reimagined capitalism. Please see below for details, and let us know if you have any questions or comments.
Responding to the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL)
comment period on the proposed ESG amendments
Friday, July 17th at 12pm ET
Thinking about responding to the DOL comment period on its latest proposal challenging ESG integration? Wondering whether your response will make a difference? Debating what arguments may be most effective? Together with our friends at The Predistribution Initiative, we are hosting an interactive and informal discussion featuring an example letter drafted by Jon Lukomnik with input from Keith Johnson. The discussion will include opening remarks by Bhakti Mirchandani and Bob Eccles explaining the proposal and why it is important to respond. The webinar is intended
to support participants in drafting their own letters and educating participants on the concepts of systemic risk and return. We also note, as highlighted by Paul Rissman of Rights CoLab, that the DOL may respond well to hearing directly from beneficiaries. We therefore encourage you to share this message and/or what you learn on
this webinar with ERISA beneficiaries, as well.

Join The Guardrail Project
This week we hosted our kick-off webinar for The Guardrail Project, which was a huge milestone for our most foundational initiative. In case you missed it, you can watch the recording here.
We'll be looking to engage asset owners, managers, and other experts in intimate, high-level workshops later this summer and fall as we work towards a guardrail strategy for the 2021 proxy season. If you are interest in getting involved, or know someone in your network whose voice should be in this conversation, you can sign up here or feel free to reach out to us to discuss further.
