“It makes no sense that on one hand California is suing five major oil companies for climate-related damages to the state, while at the same time our state public pension funds are investing over $4 billion in these same companies. We should divest.”

ALT Graphic. Imagery at top includes a page from the lawsuit, a cutout of the shape of California, and the logo for Fossil Free California. Text reads, “The state of California is suing ExxonMobil, Shell, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, and BP. But California’s public pensions currently have over $4.3 billion* invested in these same 5 companies. The time to go fossil free is now. Let’s pass Senate Bill 252. fossilfreeca.org/join #SB252. At bottom right is a yellow sticky note with handwriting font that reads, “*The state of California’s public pensions literally have $4,384,815,563 dollars invested in ExxonMobil, Shell, Chevron, ConocoPhillips, & BP.”

Proud moment for the @JustinTrudeau government.
A new report exposes Canada as the one of the worst polluters on the planet, as a result of its plans to increase oil and gas production
Canada alone could be responsible for 10% of planned expansion globally

BREAKING: @Trinity_College has committed to divestment by 2030, following our occupation & the launch of our #DivestTrin campaign. This is a student win & a step in the right direction, but it is not good enough. ⬇️

The ON gov't has a big problem.
Instead of ramping up renewables, it's been backing gas-fired power. Gas is terrible for climate + health.

Removing on street parking in Toronto in favor of dining parklets led to a nearly 50x increase in revenue as compared to parking fees.
The math is common sense - we should build cities for people, not cars!
