The 350 Sonoma County divestment team is rallying before the CalSTRS (California Teachers’ Retirement System) investment committee meeting in Sacramento, Friday, June 12.
In previous CalSTRS meetings, we have urged the committee to divest their billions from fossil fuels, but they are not listening! We need a strong presence on June 12 to show them that there is a growing public outcry against their continued investment in fossil fuels. Lots of people need to participate. Please come! Bring your friends! Spread the word!
We are looking for TWENTY people to volunteer to find 5 people to attend the rally. This could include yourself plus 4 others. Can you attend? Can you bring four others? Can you spread the word?
We know it's a tall order on a Friday morning. But we've got EIGHT already from our own 350 Sonoma County. All have committed to attending and bringing four others. Fossil Free California has also committed to helping get numbers to the rally. We've even got a teacher who drove all the way from Los Angeles to Sacramento to attend the April CalSTRS meeting! He has committed to bringing a few more people from Southern California to the meeting in June! Will you stand with us to commit to outreach for climate action? Can we count you in?
