Divesting Sonoma County Institutions from Fossil Fuels
Turn your financial support towards the future and away from fossil fuels.
Our divestment goal is the sale of stock and bonds from the 200 top oil, gas, and coal companies. We are working with colleges, universities, public pension funds, cities, and faith based organizations. We want them to immediately freeze any new investment in fossil fuel companies and divest within 5 years.
We can help investors understand that, as we make the inevitable transition to a low-carbon world, their fossil fuel investments will plunge. Analysts such as businessman/environmentalist Paul Gilding point out that what was primarily an ecological issue is now an economic one.
Why is this important?
To save the planet and ourselves by weakening the grip fossil fuel companies have on our society.. Our lives are linked with fossil fuels iin so many ways it's difficult to imagine a world without them. That said, we must begin turning this massive tide of exploration and consumption! This is a way to send a message to oil, gas and coal companies that Finding and Burning ALL the fossil fuels the Earth has, will kill us.
How it will be delivered
This petition will be presented as much as possible in-person by me to: Educational institutions, local businesses, religious institutions, local and county governments, and wineries.
