Global Divestment Day is coming!  What’s that, you ask? 
Global Divestment Day is February 13-14, at locations all around the world. It’s a chance for divestment campaigns to celebrate divestment victories, to educate their community about divestment, and to turn up the heat on divestment opponents.
There is a lot happening in DC, Maryland, and Virginia for Global Divestment Day, and we want you to know about it all!

On Friday, February 13th, join DC Divest, 350 MoCo and divestment campaigns from around the DC-metro area for the biggest public mobilization yet — we’re going to show this city that we are ready to make fossil fuels history. Getting our cities and universities to stop investing in fossil fuel companies doesn’t just protect our money against risk from the “carbon bubble,” it sends a clear message: bankrolling climate destruction is immoral. It’s time to invest in clean energy!
Click here to RSVP for the DC-area Global Divestment Day action this Friday at 5:30 p.m. in Dupont Circle.
350MoCo is also planning their own “event” – something a little different – in which each of us will tell the world why we care about divestment. The more “voices,” the greater the impact.

  • Download and print this 8 ½  x 11 sign that asks, “Why invest fossil free?” There’s a large empty space under the question for you to write your own answer. (Keep it short, clear, and legible — and, if it feels right, make it personal.)
  • Get someone to take a photo of you holding up your sign with your answer. (There’s an example photo attached.)
  • Email the photo to GDD350moco@gmail.com (the sooner, the better, but any time up until Feb. 13th is okay)
  • We want lots of photos, so if you can, forward this email to friends, family, co-workers, students, religious communities, and anyone else you can think of to make one as well and ask them to join us!

If you want to make your own sign, that’s fine too – as long as it has all the same text as our GDD sign (in roughly the same places). You can find more detailed instructions — and more copies of our sign – by going to our website.
It’s time to invest from fossil fuel destruction, take action with 350 MoCo today!
