By signing this petition, you affirm your support for the CASE Board to adopt a resolution urging CalPERS to divest from fossil fuels. Divestment is a key strategy for protecting our retirement funds while safeguarding livable communities and futures.
As outlined in the CASE Climate Action Committee’s memo on this issue, fossil fuel divestment strengthens the long‑term security of our pensions, aligns CalPERS with its stated commitment to sustainable investment practices, and helps safeguard our collective future by reducing climate-related risks.
Many prominent unions have already taken a stand in favor of fossil fuel divestment. It is time for CASE to join them and call on CalPERS to be part of the growing movement of pension funds transitioning away from fossil fuel investments.
investing in oil is just throwing money away at this point. the future is renewable and we need our retirement money to be safe and smart.
