Delighted to be Highly Commended in the Trustee of the Year category at the #womeninpensions awards.

Fossil fuel divestment to meet our fiduciary duties, not despite it! pic.twitter.com/HYSfvUfrwU

Don't take it from us, take it from @Shell:
1) Climate change will hurt the company.
2) #Divestment is working.

Over the next two weeks, leading up to the Church of England's debate on #divestment on 8 July, we'll be looking at the issue in depth: the arguments, facts and figures.
We're asking Synod members to support the Oxford amendment which sets targets and timescales for divestment.

Absolute pleasure to spend the afternoon with @MhairiBlack and the good folk of Paisley, discussing fossil fuel #divestment.
Black says it best: "We need to move towards renewables, the eyes of the world are on us…the very least #Parliament can do is support divestment" pic.twitter.com/NL6g8UaLqh

The fossil fuel industry is damaging health; via air pollution & climate change. Fossil fuel #divestment is a way to hold the industry to account and break its power. Health pros can play a key role.

In historical meeting Pope Francis urged oil majors to keep most #fossilfuels underground to achieve the #ParisAgreement. "Civilization requires energy," said the Pope, "but energy must not destroy civilization!'. @CarbonBubble's Founder @CampanaleMark was in attendance. pic.twitter.com/SND8iSlSDx

Hey Big Oil, Listen to the Pope! Keep it in the ground. (assuming you're not driven by moral guidance…we'll keep it in the ground for you) #fossilfree https://t.co/pZUToPUvnG

An important part of a #divestment campaign is to start a public discussion about the immorality of the fossil fuel industry and to get people to engage and support. In this, the campaign was a massive success! Esp the labour MPs who supported will remember when they are in power https://t.co/b0vgr1f87F
