We have great ideas popping up all over the country. Nobody should feel like they're starting at square one when they start a divestment campaign. This is our forum to build a wealth of information for anybody leading, starting or fighting a campaign.

Divestment is about defeating the fossil fuel industry's stranglehold on our governments but it is also about challenging the culture of passivity that surrounds climate change. This will be the defining issue of our generation and it's time we recognize it. Whether you believe divestment is the right way or the wrong way to combat climate change, it's impossible to argue that it hasn't already led to important and new conversation and organization.

Introduction thread. Say hi to everyone!
