Even following this statement, BlackRock and a group of other major assets managers including Vanguard, State Street, Fidelity, JPMorgan, and BNY Mellon were targeted by two political action organizations, Majority Action and the Service Employees International Union, for not doing enough to step back from supporting political candidates. In a public letter released this February, the group claims that these large asset managers themselves donated heavily to candidates who opposed certification of electoral college results and also did little to encourage companies to be more transparent. According to the organizations' letter, all but one of the named asset managers voted against a majority of shareholder proposals seeking greater disclosure; BlackRock and Vanguard voted against all such proposals.
