Subject: Divest SLO from Fossil Fuels
Dear Mayor Marx and Council Members
As a concerned San Luis Obispo constituent, I'm calling on you to support
Public Divestiture from fossil fuels for our City. We need to divest our public
pension funds and city monies from companies that promote the problems of
our climate changing. As we just have come out of our County's worst fire in
two decades, with desperately dry conditions in the mountain ranges, we all
need to get a handle on the reasons climate change is causing so much
damage. The dependence on fossil fuels (dirty coal, oil, gas, and fracking)
has come full circle, and now the whole world suffers. The City of San Luis
Obispo has shown itself to be a leader, so putting your decision towards this
end will be the shining example the other cities look to us for. We are all
responsible to take a part to change our ways, but City government is our
catalyst.
Sincerely,
�anine,Kennel Rands
Janine Rands
San Luis Obispo
