Please join us to hear about a climate action all of us can participate in now.
While governments are distracted by our immediate, unfolding global crises, and not taking the urgent steps necessary to meet their Paris Accord & Glasgow carbon emissions targets, we, the citizens, can take climate action now by minimizing our carbon footprint, voting for climate activists for political office, and by joining the Fossil Fuel Divestment campaign.
You do not need to own stocks to take action to divest. We can all help. Where you do your banking matters. According to 350.org, the Fossil Fuel Divestment campaign is a key strategy that systematically challenges the political power of the fossil fuel industry, creates uncertainty about the long-term financial viability of the industry, and moves money away from dirty energy towards climate solutions.
Join us for a presentation and discussion on Fossil Fuel Divestment. Learn how you can participate.
Valerie Myntti will talk about the History of Divestment Movements, the Policy Objectives of Fossil Fuel Divestment, and the Nuts & Bolts of Personal Divestment.
Local banker, Tom Omerza, will offer a perspective on community banking and investment policies.
