So proud of our the City of Decatur leadership who announced last night that the city will divest from the Fossil Fuel Industry within the next year.  That is a $50 million annual city budget plus reserves and many related city employee accounts and deposits.   This decision translates to  500 million to $1 billion annual secondary loan loss to Wells Fargo and its fossil fuel clients. YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Visualize Paralyzed Guy doing a Back Flip. Thank you to all the supporters of this effort and to the nearly three years of advocacy and activism. Special thanks to Extinction Rebellion Atlanta (XRatlanta.org) and XR Decatur for showing up last night and lending needed momentum and support.
