Noam Chomsky, E.N Anderson and Stanley Aronowitz have signed. . .have you? They only have 487 signatures and need 500. Can you support the indigenous people of Orissa, India by writing TIAA-CREF?
See: http://miningzone.org/campaigns/posco/divestment/tiaa-cref/faculty-petition-to-tiaa-cref/faculty-petition-to-tiaa-cref-signatures >From the letter: "We write to ask TIAA–CREF to critically examine its investment in POSCO, the South Korean steel giant, and withdraw its investments on the grounds of POSCO’s human rights and environmental record in the state of Orissa, India. All of the various parts of POSCO’s massive project – mining in captive iron ore mines, construction of a steel plant and of a captive port have disastrous consequences for the forest-dwelling (Adivasi/indigenous and non-Adivasi) communities in the project area."
