Friends,

The divestment movement has had a whirlwind spring: from commitments to divest by institutions like Pitzer and the Wallace Global Fund, to student arrests at Harvard and Washington University, we've been building some serious momentum.

Now is a great time to start a new divestment campaign in your community. Looking for an exciting project for your climate action group to work on? Thought about starting your own campaign but not sure where to start? Next week's Wednesday Web Workshop is for you. Even if you have never even organized your sock drawer: you can start a divestment campaign and join the movement to take on the fossil fuel industry and envision a more sustainable economy. 

Here are the details:

WHAT: Starting a Community Divestment Campaign Web Workshop
WHEN: Wednesday, June 4th, 5:30pm PT/ 8:30pm ET
WHERE: Online! We'll send you a link when you RSVP.

Click here to RSVP for the "Starting a Community Divestment Campaign" web workshop.

This workshop will cover the basics of campaign planning and creation, outline some of the resources offered by the Fossil Free campaign, and help you take the first steps.

Whether you've been thinking about this for a while or are moving to a new community and want to get involved, you'll find that the divestment movement is wider and deeper than ever right now.

Here's to diving in,

Jay
