Victory For The Uwa
Fidelity Investments has dumped 18 million shares of Oxy stock, approximately 60% of their holdings worth over $412 million dollars. This divestment came on the heels of mass protest around the world -thousands of people mobilized to demonstrate at over 75 fidelity offices, non-violently occupy Fidelity investor centers, symbolically dump blood and oil and generate tons of bad publicity for Fidelity.
Supporters of Colombia's Uwa people, who have vowed to commit mass suicide if Occidental Petroleum continues oil drilling on their land, are now turning their attention to Oxy’s new largest shareholder, Sanford C.Bernstein.
