To: Mayor Michael McGlynn & City of Medford, Massachusetts

Divest Medford from fossil fuels!

We call on the City of Medford to immediately freeze any new investment in fossil fuel companies, and to divest from direct ownership and any commingled funds that include fossil fuel public equities and corporate bonds within 5 years.

Why is this important?

Communities all over the world are seeing the negative effects of climate change, and Medford is by no means immune. We know that this change in the climate is brought about by the burning of fossil fuels, and we do not believe it is right for our civic institutions to profit from the destruction of the planet. We strongly believe that the city of Medford can lead other communities towards a brighter, healthier, and more sustainable future by divesting from fossil fuels.

How it will be delivered

The petition will be delivered to Mayor McGlynn at Medford city hall.
