What we're about

Divest for AR Future is a grassroots campaign using public records and Arkansas law to hold pension decision-makers accountable to the fiduciary standards they are required to follow. When investment decisions bypass independent analysis and override internal staff recommendations, pension beneficiaries deserve answers.

Our research has analyzed nearly 1,100 public records obtained through FOIA requests to four Arkansas state agencies. What we've found raises serious questions about whether pension fund investments are being made based on sound financial analysis — or something else entirely.
