In addition, we expanded our coalition of environmental organizations advocating for fossil fuel divestment to 205 organizations. Ultimately, over a dozen unions voiced support for divestment and over 10,000 petitions were delivered to the CalPERS and CalSTRS board regarding divestment.Expenses $257,710
