STOP WOKE SEC “SOCIAL CREDIT SCORE” RULE
URGENT: The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) — one of the hundreds of
federal agencies — has proposed a radical new rule implementing a woke, leftist
“Environmental, Social, and Governance” (ESG) agenda and paving the way for a
federally-enforced “social credit score.”
In March, the SEC proposed a major rule that would require public companies to
disclose their carbon emissions, along with the emissions of their customers and
suppliers. The agency is currently accepting public comments regarding the
proposal, as required under federal law. The comment period ends Friday, June 17.
The SEC’s rule is dangerous. Most prominently, by pursuing this rule, the U.S.
federal government is implementing ESG — essentially a “social credit score” for
corporations pressuring them to adopt uber-woke policies. ESG-pushing companies
like BlackRock have successfully pushed many corporations far to the Left. If
the federal government adopts the same policies, this pressure will only
intensify — and multiple other federal agencies are considering similar policies.
Furthermore, in their attempt to comply with the (costly and burdensome) rule
while maintaining a high “score,” companies might impose their own social credit
scores on consumers. This could result in average Americans being denied
services because they haven’t adopted a Great-Reset-compliant lifestyle.
More broadly, the SEC’s rule is a sneaky way to help end the use of oil and gas
while implementing radical green-new-deal environmentalist policies. Unable to
implement its collectivist agenda via legislation, the Left is pursuing
regulatory workarounds.
Last, but certainly not least, the SEC — or the federal government for that
matter — does not have authority to regulate business, including for
climate-change-related reasons. Its rule is illegal and unconstitutional.
Contact the SEC, point out the many problems with its ESG rule, and urge it to
abandon this dangerous and extreme proposal.
