CALPERS/CALSTRS DIVESTMENT BILL NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT!
SB 252 would eliminate new CalPERS and CalSTRS investments in fossil fuels and phase out existing investments by 2031. This would deprive the fossil fuel industry of $14 billion in support and resonate in public investment funding around the world. It is probably the most important bill of this term.
From Fossil Free California:
Good news! SB252 just made it out of the Appropriations committee! It is now headed to the Senate floor – likely middle of next week. AND – the Chair of Appropriations – Senator Portantino added himself as a co-author to SB252!

Help us pass the Senate floor!
In the upcoming days, we need to keep up the pressure on all the Senators to vote yes on the floor.
Ask 5-10 friends to send a letter to their senator! We have 550 signatures so far, can we reach 1500 by the time of the vote?
