Join Cities and Counties Building Support for
Pension Fossil Fuel Divestment
You can help get widespread divestment bill passed in CA!
With the exception of a few large cities, most cities and counties in California have CalPERS invest the retirement funds of their employees. These municipal and county governments are already struggling with climate impacts caused by fossil fuel burning—but CalPERS holds about $27 billion of fossil fuel investments, which jeopardize the future of many cities and, adding insult to injury, risk CalPERS’ future earnings.
A number of cities have joined the fossil fuel divestment campaign! They’ve passed resolutions requiring any city investments they make to be fossil free and calling on CalPERS to sell off its climate-destroying fossil fuel holdings.
We are asking cities, counties, and all municipal governments to show their public support for fossil fuel divestment. You can help pave the way by asking your city to pass a resolution supporting fossil fuel divestment now.
TAKE ACTION
Get your City Council or Board of Supervisors to pass a resolution supporting divestment from fossil fuels
