You may be unwittingly funding big oil companies with your bank account, credit card, or pension fund. These financial institutions often invest in fossil fuel projects contributing to climate change.

One person stopped 🇺🇸 California’s #divestment from fossil fuels — again. The state's pension funds have an estimated $14.8 billion invested in #FossilFuel🛢️companies https://grist.org/accountability/one-person-stopped-californias-divestment-from-fossil-fuels-again/

The first protest I ever organized was to try to get my university to #Divest

It took a few years, but by threatening to make the faculty's votes public, we managed to get the senate to approve #Divestment
