We the undersigned, as taxpaying citizens request that Metro Nashville commit to taking action on our collective energy future by joining the growing movement to divest public and private monies from fossil fuels and the financial institutions that support and enable them. We request that all funds and resources within the city's sphere of influence, including contracts, accounts, investment portfolios and strategies, infrastructure development, pension funds and 401Ks, endowments and grants, stocks and bonds etc be carefully divested from fossil fuels and re-invested in the many sustainable alternatives that will transform our communities into the communities of the future with clean local power and healthier outcomes. In taking this action, the City of Nashville will be joining a growing movement to drive the clean energy transition.
Transitioning to a clean energy infrastructure requires the leadership of our city. Our futures depend on ordinary people rising to meet the challenges we face as a civilization.
