Campaign Description:On June 11, 2007, New York State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli announced that the New York State Common Retirement Fund, one of the largest pension funds in the country, will develop and implement a policy designed to place pressure on the Sudanese government to end the genocide currently taking place in Darfur. The Comptroller's policy will follow the Sudan Divestment Task Force's targeted Sudan divestment model.

The New York State Teachers’ Retirement Fund has yet to make divestment commitments.
