 I call my mom up and I'm like, mom, you'll never believe this. They thought it would never happen, but the city and the state together today announced that they will be divesting from fossil fuels. My name is Beda. I work for 350.org as the U.S. National Organizer and I'm here to share really big news. After years of campaigning, attending dozens of hearings, signing thousands of petitions, and ending with a 5,000 person march on the anniversary of Hurricane Sandy, city and state officials announced that they will begin the process of divesting public pension funds from the fossil fuel industry. Both city and state funds amount to $390 billion. Not only that, the city is suing the top five fossil fuel companies for the cost of climate change. I was scrolling through Twitter and I turned to my partner and I'm like, holy crap, the Empire State Building is green and Mayor Blasio announced that this was because of hashtag Divest New York. In that moment, I thought of the hundreds of people who came out to Sandy 5, the folks that I have gotten to know personally who were victims of Hurricane Sandy and thought that this win is for them. A city as iconic as New York taking this kind of action is triggering waves of resistance against the fossil fuel industry in cities and states across the U.S. and globally. Fossil Free is asking cities and towns to take on three demands. One, a fast and just transition to 100% renewable for all. Two, an end to new fossil fuel projects through local infrastructure banks. And three, not a penny more for fossil fuels. We can only build on this effort and power our campaigns with your support. And that's why I'm asking you to donate to 350.org today so that we could see more victories like this and create a fossil free world for all. Thank you.
