Parents

As tax payers you are providing the monetary resources that pays teachers, school boards, and pays into their retirement plan, CalSTRS. You have a very crucial role to play in this movement. Because your taxes pay teachers and school boards to teach your children, you are their partners.

Organize into a parents group with other like minded parents. Look up your local school districts website to find out when and where school board meetings are held. This meeting is an excellent location to press for the school board to pass a resolution to divest from fossil fuels. You can share this campaign with teachers at your child's school, but remember to be respectful.

Also, parents can ask their alma mater to divest from fossil fuels on 350.org website by clicking here and find your school.

If active in your city you can push for a municipal divestment from fossil fuels as well.
