Friends,
Some weeks it's hard to keep up with how quickly the world is changing.
Yes, part of that is the climate crisis: we live in a world that's been
profoundly and dangerously altered. But the politics of climate change are
changing too, and some weeks you can feel a really tangible shift in what
is possible and what is not.
This is one of those weeks, and Global Divestment Day is a chance to be
part of that shift. Next Friday, we're changing the game and putting
fossil fuels on the defensive.

13th.
Want to really feel the world changing under your feet? There's nothing
like taking action in person. But even if you can't make it to a Global
Divestment Day event next week, you can still be part of this movement and
this moment. Here's how:
1. Make sure your friends and family know that you're standing with the
fossil fuel divestment movement. The orange square has become an
international symbol of solidarity and resistance against the fossil
fuel industry. [2]We've put together this handy tool to help you make
your own orange square meme and then swap out your profile photo on
Facebook.
2. Use the #divest hashtag on social media all next week. Let's blow the
conversation up online even as we're out in the streets! [3]Click here
for more ideas on how to amplify the Global Divestment Day message.
3. Pledge to divest your own money. Make sure your values and your assets
are in the same place. [4]Join the thousands of individuals who have
pledged to divest themselves from fossil fuels.
This week we got word that Norway's sovereign wealth fund -- at $850
billion, the world's largest -- is divesting from coal and tar sands
companies on climate grounds. Last week, the New School in New York
announced that they would divest from fossil fuels. So far, this movement
has divested more than $50 billion.
We live in a profoundly altered world. It's up to us to make sure that it
changes for the better.
[5]This is our moment. Let's seize it.
Onward,
Jenny & the Fossil Free team
