The Coalition of 135 members represents $2.2T in assets. It includes the Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility, Merck Family Fund, US Trust, Wallace Global Fund, Sisters of Bon Secours USA, Majority Action, Sierra Club Foundation, Arjuna Capital, Nathan Cummings Foundation and Fulcrum Asset Management.
