Hi John,

This morning we announced that 300 MPs have called on their pension fund to drop fossil fuel investments. It’s now clear: Parliament is calling time on fossil fuels. 

Following two and a half years of incredible grassroots organising, MPs from every political party in the UK have backed the Divest Parliament campaign in their droves.

Sharing this video will help us pressure the Trustees of the MPs Pension Fund to develop an investment policy that reflects the scale of the climate emergency. A policy that says no to fossil fuels and yes to clean energy. 

Initially backed only by a handful of engaged MPs, divestment has now come to be accepted as an essential action for MPs to truly show they understand the root cause of the climate emergency.

Our politics may be in turmoil but our message has broken through to MPs: we must stop fuelling the fire of climate change by ending investments in fossil fuel companies. MPs have got the message, now we must keep organising to ensure that all policies and laws produced by Parliament will help bring about a fossil free future.

Share the video now.
