Add your name today to join me in telling our public pensions to invest in real climate solutions.

These pensions are some of the biggest investors in the country, so where they invest matters. Right now, they're using our money to fund Big Oil, other polluters and greenwashed "climate solutions" that don't actually cut pollution. That means workers' hard-earned savings are being used to prop up polluters instead of protecting their future.

But it doesn't have to be this way. Pensions could be part of the solution, investing in ways that secure workers' retirements and protect the climate.

That's why we're calling on public pensions to adopt Climate Solutions Investment Principles -- commonsense guidelines that direct money into real climate solutions like clean energy, good union jobs, and resilient communities.¹

We are already facing (and paying for) the impacts of climate change. Not only do we face threats to our homes from storms and flooding, but rising temperatures are raising the cost of food, utility bills, and more.

There's a growing body of research that shows climate change poses a threat to workers' retirement savings. To safeguard our ability to retire, we need a sustainable economy, which in turn depends on investments in clean and renewable energy.

Right now, we're seeing the Trump administration roll back 50 years worth of environmental protections. We can and must fight back in every way possible.

Investing in clean, renewable energy isn't just the right thing to do for our planet. It also makes financial sense. Investing in climate solutions will protect workers' retirement savings in the long run. Urging public pensions to invest in real climate solutions that protect our communities would make a huge difference.

Public pensions are managed by state and local officials who are accountable to us as taxpayers. These managers have an obligation to protect workers' savings for the long term.

If enough of us take action now, we know we can move public pensions to invest in our future. Will you join us?

Together,
