Did you know that asset managers control $90 TRILLION of capital? The largest, @BlackRock, has $6.3 trillion under management.

That also means that BlackRock does more than any other company to finance climate change. We need to change that. Learn more: https://t.co/OnTY2UJ34s

In #NYC for #ClimateWeekNYC & want to know how public pension funds are going #fossilfree? Check out this great event tomorrow with @NYCComptroller & @350 on #NYC & London's initiatives to #divest from fossil fuels & invest in climate solutions. https://t.co/UgdoIixsmy

TickTock, TickTock, the clock is running out on fossil fuels as Seattle University votes to fully #divest after a great campaign run by student activists! https://t.co/mUWFwhnPPW

[350 dot org @350]

Yes! Lyon votes to divest from fossil fuels, thanks to local #FossilFree group. All over the world, we need more groups like this pushing real change. Let's keep up the momentum from #RiseforClimate: https://t.co/gIquaWVt2K

The financial capitals of the world - #NYC & #London - have committed to #divest from fossil fuels & invest in #ClimateSolutions. Come hear how they plan to do it at this session sponsored by @NYCComptroller and @350 #ClimateWeekNYC

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

Listen to @billmckibben explain why it makes financial and moral sense to invest in climate solutions. Green technology is getting better and cheaper, and New York City knows that's where the smart money is going.

Hey @JerryBrownGov Thanks from NYC! The NYC Pension funds are divesting from coal, OIL AND GAS. Would love to see that at CALPERS and CALSTRS too. CC: @FossilFreeCA #FossilFree #StepItUp2018

👏👏👏 @NYCMayor #StepUp2018

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

Climate change is a threat to the future of our cities and our children – so we’re taking action now.

[Divest 4 Democracy @democracydivest]

Cambridge's investment group felt conflicted because they were convinced #BigOil companies like #BP and #Shell would pull research funding if the uni divested. Just another example of how this morally corrupt industry is polluting higher education. #divest

[Divest 4 Democracy @democracydivest]

The NYC pension funds are makin' moves!! They're going from #divestNY to #InvestNY with climate solutions. Every pension fund should follow their lead. #OneNYC

[Daniel A. Zarrilli, PE @dzarrilli]

via @WSJ: NYC will invest $4 billion of its pension funds in climate-change solutions https://t.co/pwkJaefUXC

[Divest 4 Democracy @democracydivest]

WOAH!

[Divest 4 Democracy @democracydivest]

Hmmm... Would be really awesome if someone from @NYCMayorsOffice could show 'em how it's done! #SFdivest has been running an AMAZING campaign. #InIt2WinIt #GCAS2018 #stepitup @Mayors4Climate

[𝐉𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗺𝘆 @JspiderSF]

THREAD! It’s painfully ironic that on the opening day of the Global Climate Action Summit, the staff of the SF Retirement Board proposes that they continue with a “too little, too late” approach to divesting from fossil fuels. #divest #divestsf #GCAS2018 https://t.co/BccAv2VjjL

[FossilFreeIslington @divestislington]

WE'VE DONE IT! @IslingtonBC is going #fosslfree and divesting their pension fund. Massive thank you to all who supported our campaign and the councillors who are taking a stand against climate change!
