As concerned consumers, banking customers and shareholders, it is important to us that JPMorgan Chase make a commitment not to invest in companies that may be helping to fund genocide.

JPMorgan Chase is one of the largest investors in PetroChina. It is widely reported that PetroChina, through its closely related parent company, China National Petroleum Company, is helping to fund the government of Sudan’s campaign of violence. We want JPMorgan Chase to avoid investments in companies that contribute to genocide and other crimes against humanity.

Dear Mr. Jamie Dimon

As concerned consumers, banking customers and shareholders, it is important to us that JPMorgan Chase make a commitment not to invest in companies that may be helping to fund genocide.

JPMorgan Chase is one of the largest investors in PetroChina. It is widely reported that PetroChina, through its closely related parent company, China National Petroleum Company, is helping to fund the government of Sudan’s campaign of violence. We want JPMorgan Chase to avoid investments in companies that contribute to genocide and other crimes against humanity.

JPMorgan Chase has stated that it supports the protection and preservation of human rights and that it is dedicated to exemplifying good corporate citizenship through its commitment to respecting human rights and corporate responsibility.

We support this statement, which is why we are asking JPMorgan Chase to adopt the genocide-free investing policy called for on the 2012 proxy ballot. Currently, JPMorgan Chase is opposing the proposal, implying that it is important to the company to maintain its flexibility to invest in companies connected to genocide.

Research has shown that 88% of Americans do not want any financial ties to companies, such as PetroChina, that help to support genocide. In the best interests of shareholders, customers and other concerned citizens, we urge JPMorgan Chase to make a public commitment to avoid investments in companies that support genocide.

Please be aware that action in this matter will influence our opinion of the firm and our future decisions to utilize the company’s services. Additionally, we intend to get other customers and shareholders to join us in signing this letter and supporting the 2012 shareholder resolution on the proxy ballot.

Please respond to this request on Moxy Vote.  We look forward to continuing this conversation.

Sincerely,
6,130 Concerned Citizens
