Watch a CBS 2 New York segment from October 4, 1999, detailing the American Anti-Slavery Group’s lobbying effort to convince the city of New York to no longer invest public employee pensions in the now-defunct Canadian oil company Talisman Energy, which had interests in Sudan. As a direct result of the public outcry from organizations like the AASG, Talisman finally sold all of its shares in Sudanese oil in 2003 before folding in 2015.
