As a city councilor @wutrain led on this in 2014 working w students and other climate organizers to pass a resolution in support of #DivestBoston
Now she made it a reality as @MayorWu!
With the stroke of her pen, @MayorWu signs ordinance divesting Boston from fossil fuels. Consider it the city's "declaration of independence" from fossil fuels, says @SenMarkey. https://t.co/b75T8JBJ0p via @BostonGlobe
We need free public transit! @wutrain has been a leader on climate change and many other issues. I worked with her and @BSACbuzz on #DivestBoston in 2014.

Boston-area student divestment organizers are kicking off #F2D2 with cross-campus strength!
"As students and as young people, we cannot allow the universities we are part of to profit from this injustice." #DivestReinvest #DivestBoston #FossilFuelDivestmentDay
By refusing to divest from fossil fuels, universities are failing their roles as leaders in higher education, says @BostonCollege junior @krosenthal15, @Harvard junior Eva Rosenfeld, and @BU_Tweets senior Bolaji Olagbegi. #FossilFuelDivestmentDay #F2D2 https://t.co/HNO0VBAEBH

“Proud to live in a state where values matter. Massachusetts doesn’t have any private prisons in our state, so we shouldn’t be invested in them.” - Maria Egan @FreshPondCap #DivestBoston
“There is an opportunity for state and local leadership to step up... you have allies in the investment and activist communities” - Lisa Hale, Boston Common Asset Management #DivestBoston
