Forum on Fossil Fuel Divestment - Concord and Beyond

Janet Lawson, Neighbor

Divestment from fossil
fuels is a growing movement and a call to action on climate change. 22 cities and towns including
Seattle, San Francisco, Providence and Cambridge have already led the way.  And now Concord, Sudbury, Framingham and others are poised to follow suit. You will be voting on this
issue at Town Meeting. This forum is a chance to learn and ask questions
from experts. Stephanie Leighton, CFA, and Senior Vice President of Trillium
Asset Management, will reprise the program on divestment that she gave on
Beacon Hill for pending statewide divestment legislation. Chuck Collins, author
and senior scholar at the Institute for Policy Studies, has been involved with
divestment strategy since the days of Nelson Mandela.  Please join us for a
stimulating and timely discussion. Free
and open to all.
