NEW YORK CITY TO USE PENSION FUND INVESTMENTS TO PUSH MASTERCARD AND AMERICAN EXPRESS TO FLAG GUN SALES Elected officials in New York City and three of the city’s pension funds are pushing credit card providers American Express and Mastercard to start tracking spending on firearms, in an effort to catch suspicious sales. About 50 state lawmakers in New York wrote a letter to Mastercard and American Express asking them to start coding sales of firearms and ammunition under a special category so that law enforcement can easily track these sales. A PDF copy of the letter can be downloaded here (https://docs.reclaimthenet.org/Letter-to-MC-AmEx.pdf). [ Article (https://reclaimthenet.org/nyc-to-use-pension-fund-push-mastercard-and-am-ex/) ]
