We have so much work to do & nobody’s slowing down…
How do I do this?
CalPERS and CalSTRS have an estimated $9 BILLION invested in fossil fuel production. For eight years, their members have called for their pensions to divest. The Fossil Fuel Divestment Act (SB 1173) would require CalPERS and CalSTRS to divest from fossil fuels by July 2027.

Sample email/call: [email: Dear Mr. Cheeks, Wendy McMahon,]
It was journalistic malpractice to hire a treasonous extremist like Mick Mulvaney as an on-air contributor. Not only did this fanboy of Russian-style autocracy give cover to Trump’s Ukraine shake-down, he tried to destroy the Consumer Financial Protection Agency, provided security clearances to unqualified people and misrepresented the seriousness of the pandemic. Why are you aiding and abetting a GOP takeover in November by allowing this traitorous liar to provide toxic and slanted takes on the actions of Biden and Democrats? That’s FOX News’ job.

There was once a line that the forced-birthers were traditionally reluctant to cross – their bills didn’t target women directly – instead they focused on onerous requirements for clinics and medical professionals. Texas then upped the ante by putting a bounty on those who aid women get abortions after 6 weeks. Missouri is now trying to extend the concept beyond their state’s borders and Idaho responded to the criticism of strangers suing strangers by allowing only family members, including those of rapists, to sue abortion providers. However heinous these bills are, they still concentrate on trapping women into carrying a fetus to term by removing their support system.
Texas has crossed that line with a bill targeting women directly – the logical extension of all GOP rhetoric. TX Rep. Bryan Slaton’s bill, filed last year, would “abolish and criminalize abortions, leaving women and physicians who perform the procedure to face criminal charges that could carry the death penalty,” with no exceptions for rape and incest. It’s only a matter of time before this becomes the model that other red states emulate.
Judd Legum of Popular Information put out a new article about six companies who claim to be pro-woman while giving loads to money to lawmakers who’ve sponsored awful abortion bills in Idaho, Arizona, and Oklahoma, Florida, Texas, etc.

Option #1: You can use this form from Indivisible National here: https://act.newmode.net/action/indivisible-project/email-president-biden-and-tell-him-declare-national-climate-emergency
Option #12: (indivisibles.f.) Sample email to Biden: We are united behind you in supporting Ukraine’s fight against Putin’s invasion, and applaud your bold action in getting our allies to join the US in releasing 60 million barrels from strategic petroleum reserves. Unfortunately, in spite of your direct appeals to oil company executives to help the world curb Putin’s aggression, oil prices at the pump continue to rise.
It’s time to use your authority under the Defense Production Act to issue executive orders to address this crisis:
We also ask you to make additional releases from the strategic oil reserve to counter shortage-caused price spikes as needed. That’s the main purpose of the strategic reserve; now is the time to use it.

A written synopsis of Enbridge’s compliance issues and Line 5’s safety here.
Last January, President Biden committed to correcting environmental injustices and challenged the fossil fuel industry to stop exacerbating the climate crisis. Right now, in Wisconsin, he has the opportunity to follow through on this commitment.
Last month, hundreds of people took the time to protest the expansion of the Line 5 tar sands pipeline through Wisconsin, uplifting the threat it poses to tribal treaty rights, local waterways, and the Great Lakes.
Now, 35 organizations (28 from Quebec) including Équiterre, David Suzuki Foundation, Eau Secours, Regroupement Vigilance Hydrocarbures Québec and The Council of Canadians have sent a letter supporting the closure of Line 5 (attached). Their message is clear: this pipeline is too dangerous and those fighting to keep it open do not speak in our name. (Excellent report on alternatives here.)
Now, we must join them to call on the Biden Administration to reject Line 5’s permit to drill under White River which would devastate the water quality of Lake Superior.
