Campaign to Divest Somerville from Fossil Fuels

[masslibrulgirl.livejournal.com]

A petition has been started to divest the city of Somerville from fossil fuels. This is a great chance for Somerville to be a leader on climate change!

If you're interested in getting involved with the campaign, there will be a  meeting tonight at 6 pm at the Climate Justice Hub in Davis Square.
