California is suing the top 5 fossil fuel companies for climate damages.
So why are @CalPERS & @CalSTRS investing $4.5 BILLION in the very same fossil fuel corporations?

Californians are ready to lead the nation on climate-safe legislation.
Call Governor Newsom at (916) 445-2841 and urge him to sign #SB253 and #SB261, which along with #SB252, make up the Climate Accountability Bill Package.

"California isn’t the first government entity to try to tackle climate accountability through the courts...Environmental groups praised the move,and likened the lawsuit to those against #tobacco and opioid companies"

"A growing number of high-profile cases in state court helped pave the way for Bonta’s 135-page lawsuit to hold #oilandgas companies financially responsible...They include the record $246-billion settlement with #BigTobacco."

The young people of Montana are spot on. The climate crisis is the result of intentional political choices that are depriving all of us of the right to a clean and healthful environment.
May this open the door for many more to reclaim their right to climate justice ✊
@UTLAnow So true! @WeAreCTA has an incredible opportunity to help limit the power of fossil fuel companies by supporting SB252 (Fossil Fuel Divestment Act). Pls encourage UTLAers to sign petition in support of SB252 here: https://t.co/hMYY2l00bz Thx! @CtaDivest@FossilFreeCA
2023 is the hottest year on record. This is no accident.
We are in this position because of political choices made by corporations and billionaires.
If we take collective action, we can create a livable world that serves us, and not corporations.

Compounding shock into outrage, many oil companies admitted they have no intention of repairing the leaking wells, more than a dozen of which are gushing methane at explosive levels. https://t.co/PAbrmCdfVg. Time to pass AB 1167- #caleg@AsmCarrillo
“It’s not our fault that Montpelier is underwater,” says @billmckibben. “It’s the fault of the [oil] companies that 35 and 40 years ago knew exactly, exactly what was gonna happen … There is enormous public support for making polluters pay.”
In spite of the deadly risks, there are no federal heat protection standards. In fact, Texas just passed a law nullifying local guidelines requiring outdoor workers to be given water breaks.
Please take a minute to demand OSHA create emergency heat rules. https://t.co/MqQ5QFGXJu
Don't let the heat turn deadly for farm workers. Donations will help us keep doing everything we can to save lives.
Stand strong with the farm workers who toil day after exhausting day under a sizzling sun.

If climate chaos like fires and floods weren't enough, this latest report strengthens the case even further that public pension funds must divest from fossil fuels as part of meeting their fiduciary duties. https://t.co/QaBCd4ACwp
🔔 NEW: Our state pension funds, CalSTRS + CalPERS, have lost $9.6 billion dollars over the last ten years. Why? Because they’ve failed to divest from fossil fuels.

A reminder that fossil fuel companies Net0 pledges are meaningless and we need to stop pretending we can negotiate with them.
We need to start regulating them.
⚠️ BREAKING...NEW DATA: A groundbreaking report from the University of Waterloo reveals six public pension funds would be $21 BILLION richer if they divested from fossil fuels 10 years ago.
