How teachers are funding gun companies against their will • The Real NRA #4 • BRAVE NEW FILMS

Breaking News: California teachers demand their money be taken out of gun companies. 

Two years after the largest teachers’ pension fund in the world, CalSTRS, voted to sell off all investments in firearm companies, they still have $500 million tied up with guns through Cerberus Capital Management.  Even after this vote to divest, Cerberus has kept the teachers’ money invested in gun manufacturer Bushmaster/Remington Outdoor Inc. – the company that made the gun used in the Sandy Hook Elementary shooting.


Join with teachers to say enough is enough! Don’t let teachers’ dollars fund another school shooting!


There have been 109 school shootings since the Sandy Hook shooting. And companies like Bushmaster/Remington Outdoor Inc. continue to make millions as they manufacture firearms and bullets used in school shootings.

California teachers are putting principles before profits to help put an end to this public health crisis. Next week, CalSTRS hosts their board meeting in Sacramento, CA where the California Federation of Teachers will be testifying, showing our film and delivering petitions to end this now. Join us and stand with these teachers today.

Sign the petition that teachers will deliver to CalSTRS and Cerberus at the board meeting next Thursday April 2.

We all have the power to help end this public health crisis. Don’t stand by and let good people fund another school shooting.

Thanks for all that you do.
