As governments fail to take bold action to confront the climate crisis and fossil fuel expansion continues at an ever increasing pace, it?s time for us to take matters into our own hands. Last September hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets as part of the People?s Climate March and global mobilisation making history with our collective demand for climate action.Worldwide people are standing up to the interests of the fossil fuel industry knowing they are the biggest obstacle to tackling the climate crisis.The fossil fuel industry has our political process in shackles with its financial might. But we are matching their financial might with a different kind of power. The power that comes from movements and the movement of the moment is divestment.Through divestment, we are directly challenging the social license of these corporations who have become rogue entities seeking profits at the expense of people and planet. And we need as many forces in society as possible to collectively say these companies are rogue companies.
