Please join us for Global Divestment Day – 8 events across CO!

Please join us for Global Divestment Day     

8 events in Colorado!

February 13 and 14: Divest from fossil fuels.

Together, we will show that we are a truly global and growing force to be reckoned with. As the fossil fuel industry throws more money at fossil fuel expansion, we will turn up the volume of our divestment movement. And we won’t stop until we win.

Join us for Global Divestment Day on February 13 and 14 and together, let’s make fossil fuels history.
