Divest Palo Alto From Fossil Fuels
This campaign has ended.
Divest within 1 year any city held funds from corporations, such as the TVA, that inundated the Tennessee countryside with coal ash, banks, such as Bank of America that finance coal extraction, or mutual funds, that support fossil fuel extraction, processing, and consumption.
Why is this important?
We need to eliminate our support for the use of fossil fuels in order to reduce the coming climate catastrophe due to global warming. For example, Palo Alto is close to sea level and a rise in sea levels will lead to massive flooding. We have made a good start by going carbon neutral in our electricity supply. Let's take the next step by defunding fossil fuels.
How it will be delivered
The petition will be delivered via e-mail and paper to the Palo Alto City Council.
