TAKE ACTION: Demand that BOP divests from fossil fuels!

a project of Presbyterian Peace Fellowship Blessings to you in this Lenten season.   By now you know that tomorrow, March 11, we're writing an email to the executive committee of the Board of Pensions. The Board of Pensions is managing our money and need to know what we value. All the information about fossil fuel divestment and the Board of Pensions. The rest of this email is a compilation of resources that you might find helpful as you engage in conversations about divestment with your churches, presbyteries, synods, and the Board of Pensions.  Here is the powerpoint outlining some of the most pressing concerns about divestment from our conversation.  Here is a link to the recorded zoom video if you would like to watch it again or to share with your friends.  Find us on Facebook to join a community interested in this work. You can join PCUSA Moral Investments which is organizing direct action to the Board of Pensions or You can join Fossil Free PCUSA to join in the larger discussions.  If you are interested in helping your presbytery divest from fossil fuels, the Presbyterian Peace Fellowship came out with these great resources to help you do this!   for creation, abby mohaupt co-moderator of Fossil Free PCUSA A reminder about our pause: As an organization that is mostly (but not completely) white and believes that where our treasure is, there our hearts are too, we are participating in a six month deep focus on the call to defund the police.  We, along with others involved with the Presbyterian Peace Fellowship, paused most of our other work until March 2021, and we hope you'll join us in dismantling and divesting from white supremacy. If you would like to join us on this journey, you can see the schedule of upcoming events here. We at Fossil Free will also check in periodically to share what we are learning, talk about any connections we might see between defunding and divesting, and share our planning for the future.

Don't just give thanks for our earth. Give support to its care. Fossil Free PCUSA relies on the support of the people and presbyteries who care about this work. We are grateful for financial contributions great and small, and invite you to give as you are able. Donate here. We are also seeking congregations who are able to help back this work in bigger ways. Will you ask your congregation or presbytery to commit $500 to Fossil Free PCUSA before the end of the year? For more information contact the rev. abby mohaupt, FFPCUSA Moderator, at forcreation@fossilfreepcusa.org.  Donate
