Fossil Free California
Our friends at Fossil Free California have been fighting for years to divest the California state pension funds (the largest pension funds in the US) from fossil fuels. They won a victory last month when SB1173, their Fossil Fuel Divestment Bill, passed out of the California State Senate. The bill will be heard in the CA Assembly this month. If you live in California, please call your Assemblymember and ask them to support this important bill – more info here.

OFRF's Research & Education Program Manager Thelma Vélez, PhD, recently spoke before the full US House Agriculture Committee, summarizing her research findings demonstrating the potential for organic systems to mitigate climate change and build resilience. Vélez spoke to the need for more investment in organic research, education, and extension to support American farmers and ranchers in implementing the best practices for climate mitigation and adaptation.
