AI Accountability
If left unchecked, artificial intelligence threatens to drive system-level risks: climate pollution (if new computing is powered by fossil fuels), rising inequality (related to erosion of workers' rights), and increasing authoritarianism (by supercharging disinformation and voter suppression). Investors should adopt strong principles guiding their investment, engagement and proxy voting concerning AI-related firms, including in the technology, retail, fossil fuel and power sectors. Majority Action is working with investors to provide resolutions, analysis and recommendations on this crucial issue.
Amazon Resolution: 2025 Proxy Season
In the 2025 proxy season, Majority Action worked with Amazon Employees for Climate Justice (AECJ) to lead an impactful climate shareholder resolution at Amazon. Calling on the company to report on how it will meet its climate commitments given its massive data center expansion plans, the proposal garnered support from 20% of shareholders, making it one of the season's most successful environmental resolutions and clearly demonstrating investors' concern about this issue.
