On March 26 youth, teachers and other supporters will join to ask State Superintendent of Education Tony Thurmond why California Teachers are invested in Line 3 through CalSTRS, the statewide teacher’s retirement fund which invests billions in fossil fuels companies, and in Enbridge, which is building Line 3. We will join Youth vs. Apocalypse and Earth Guardians Bay Area in solidarity action on March 26th at 5pm at the Golden Gate Bridge. Youth know that their teachers don’t want to fund environmental destruction — come by on Friday to show your support.
Indigenous-led water protectors in Minnesota are taking action every day to disrupt the construction of Enbridge’s Line 3 pipeline. This one of many actions in solidarity actions targeting financial and other corporate interests.
The youth are asking State Superintendent Tony Thurmond, who is on the board CalSTRS (the teachers’ pension fund), to join us in calling for CalSTRS to divest from fossil fuels and help #StopLine3. This is a peaceful, non-violent action and we are not planning to violate laws or risk arrest. Come masked and ready to show the water protectors at Line 3 our collective support.
