<p>Dear friends,</p>
<p><strong>We are standing in a window of opportunity -- a
once-in-a-generation opportunity to totally overhaul our
energy system.</strong></p>
<p>The climate movement is on the rise, people power is beating
back extreme energy from New York to Scotland, and renewable
energy is cheaper than ever before. At the same time, tumbling
oil prices -- which conventional wisdom says is bad news for
the climate -- mean that the vast profits that underpin the
fossil fuel industry’s power are on unusually shaky ground.</p>
<p><strong>Suddenly fossil fuels are on the defensive. Suddenly
tar sands and fracking don’t look like such hot investments
anymore.</strong> Respectable, prudent fund managers are
seriously considering taking their money out of fossil fuels,
and many of them have already done so.</p>
<p>Will you help us seize the moment? In less than two weeks,
fossil fuel divestment supporters from around the world will
come together with a single message: <em>Fossil fuels are
history, and renewable energy is our future.</em></p>

Divestment Day is February 13th, and it’s not too late to
host your own simple action.</strong></a></p>
<p>All you need to lead a photo action is a camera, some
home-made signs, and a group of friends and neighbors. <a

<p>If enough of us take action on Global Divestment Day, we can
shift public opinion and open up the political space to
radically transform both our energy systems and our climate
policies. Whether you’re reading this on an island in the
Pacific, a small town in Canada, or in London, together we can
send a powerful and united global message.</p>
<p>I know this because every single week this January I've seen
divestment campaign victories spread this message across the
world: the first Swedish University to divest, an Australian
city council, the United Methodist Church, and New York’s New
School to name just a few. Earlier this month, victims of
Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines even organized actions
urging the Pope to divest the Vatican from fossil fuels.</p>
<p>Windows like this can and do pass. Let’s not let this one
pass us by.</p>
