fusclimate Mailing List: Fwd: Don't miss the first Divest Minneapolis Campaign Meeting! Monday 6/16

[Scott Jackson (sjackzen46]

Now that the MN350 Divestment Team is launching a Divest Minneapolis
Campaign (in addition to its earlier focus on colleges and universities),
I'll be joining it at the June 16 meeting. In 1985-86 I was an active
member of the MN Anti-Apartheid Coalition working on divestment of South
African holdings at the city and state levels, and this is an exciting
opportunity to advance climate justice using a proven and effective
organizing tool.

If as expected the General Assembly passes the Fossil Fuel Divestment
Business Resolution, I also hope to organize around divestment at FUS and
through the MUUSJA environmental working group. Perhaps we can discuss the
issue at the next MUUSJA meeting in July.

creativity and ideas in order to be successful! Â No experience in campaign

where we'll talk about campaign structure, discuss next steps, and assign
tasks.
