"Our statewide antiwar coalition will bring its monthly protest series back to Farmington in November.

"Student organizers from #UMF will join us and I'm sure we'll get an update on their ongoing efforts to pressure the #UMaine system to #divest from #Israel.

"News of atrocities in #NorthernGaza continue to horrify the world as well as airstrikes in #Lebanon, #Syria, and #Yemen with many innocent victims.

"The U.S. response? Tell reporters that Israel has the 'right' to target #civilians meanwhile sending the #THAAD missile 'defense' system and U.S. troops to operate it!

"Bring your own signs and banners, or use ours. Join us for a late lunch afterwards.

Ich habe die Versorgungsanstalt des Bundes und der Länder angeschrieben, um der Fossilindustrie das Geld zu entziehen.

Mach mit: https://www.finanzwende.de/kampagnen/vbl-for-future

Mehr Extremwetter braucht kein Mensch. Die fossile Industrie muss enden 🔥🌍

Hitzewellen, Fluten, Brände – die #Klimakatastrophe ist jetzt. Jedes weitere Jahr, in dem wir fossile Brennstoffe verbrennen, bringt uns näher an den Kollaps. Wenn wir den fossilen Wahnsinn nicht beenden und irreversible #Kipppunkte überschreiten, werden Katastrophen unser täglicher Begleiter sein.

Trotzdem investiert die VBL. Versorgungsanstalt des Bundes und der Länder weiter in fossile Unternehmen, die unsere Zukunft aktiv zerstören! Es gibt Beispiele, die zeigen, dass es anders geht – der niederländische Pensionsfonds ABP hat den Ausstieg geschafft. Warum nicht auch die VBL?

👉 Werdet aktiv und fordert die VBL auf, sich sofort aus fossilen Investments zurückzuziehen! Nutzt das E-Mail-Tool hier: https://www.finanzwende.de/kampagnen/vbl-for-future

Portland’s city council adopted a resolution Wednesday night urging the city to divest from companies doing business with Israel in response to the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

The city council unanimously approved the resolution — put forth by councilor April Fournier and sponsored by the Maine Coalition for Palestine and Maine’s chapter of Jewish Voice for Peace — in a packed chamber following more than three hours of public comment. Councilors also said individually that they’d received thousands of emails from constituents regarding the resolution.

More than 80 companies are included in the divestment list, including the major corporations Volvo, Boeing, Chevron and Intel, which the resolution calls complicit in Israel’s violation of international law.

Police Violently Arrest #UniversityOfTexas Students Protesting Genocide in #Gaza

"After 205 days of genocide and almost 40,000 Palestinian martyrs, it is shameful that #UT continues to invest in mass murder and resorts to brutal intimidation tactics to try to silence its own students," said one protester.

Canada is so good at consolidation…”A second risk of cross-ownership is that financial problems, like fossil fuel assets suddenly losing value in the energy transition, would quickly spread, he argues.
“Bank losses would be felt most acutely by the largest shareholders of those banks, which turn out to be the banks themselves,” he wrote. “This is a recipe for risk contagion within the banking sector. “

Today, scientists and students built a "pipeline" on the lawn of the #Danish Technical #University, which has a 1-billion kr. agreement with #Total for research on extracting and burning greater quantities of #oil and #gas at reduced costs - a recipe for accelerated #ClimateBreakdown.

Hey @bundesbank, habt ihr mal die Nachrichten gesehen? Weltweit sehen wir Extremwetter und Naturkatastrophen als Teil der #Klimakrise. Wenn ihr fossilen Konzerne durch eure Geldpolitik unterstützt, heizt ihr die Krise weiter an.

Investitionen in #Klimakiller stoppen!
