            CalSTRS - Divest from Fossil Fuels

Sacramento, California
January 30, 2020

An oil tanker and young people drenched in fake 'oil' were pulled down the Capital Mall in Sacramento to protest CalSTRS $6BILLION investment in fossil fuel holdings. Amazing youth groups and environmental groups marched from the capital building to CalSTRS (The California State Teachers' Retirement System) in West Sacramento to send a powerful message to the CalSTRS Board - Divest from fossil fuels and Invest in the future. At CalSTRS, youth took part in a "Die-In" to illustrate the future they envision with continued investment in fossil fuels.

The blue "Censored" tape refers to the CalSTRS policy of not allowing the words of youth under the age of 18 to be included in the Public Record during public comments at board meetings.

The sign "Engagement is Wedding Us To Extinction" refers to CalSTRS board position that they have more power to bring change when they "engage" with the fossil fuel industry as opposed to "divesting" from the fossil fuel industry. "Engagement" without any benchmarks or timelines is widely seen as a tactic to avoid moving investments towards a sustainable future.

The march was led by Marge Grow-Eppard with the eagle feather staff of Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women (MMIW).

This event was co-organized by Earth Guardians Bay Area, Youth Vs Apocalypse, 350 Sacramento, Climate Reality Project UC Davis, Fridays for Future Sacramento, Sunrise Movement Sacramento, Sunrise Movement Davis, and Fossil Free California.
