Contact governors of democratic states. They have organized together to counter Trump's illegal actions. They would be happy to assist with this project.

The problem is that they typically don't have to worry about international security issues, and state governments aren't built for this kind of policy. There's no real interface for this type of issue. Believe me, we've been trying for over a year. The problem is that it requires personal connections inside these offices, and those are difficult to come by.

Yes, your warning is correct. We as investors have the power to find out if our retirement savings are fueling Putin and I intend to do as you have suggested. Thanks very much for the heads up!

Great idea to pressure democratic states to do this, especially CA and MA. I'm not sure where PA falls regarding pension fund investments, but the state does have large public pension funds for teachers and other state government employees. I will check with our investment managers in reference to our personal investments, but I do not think they would invest in something like this.
