Who we are:

We are New York climate activists and students who demand that the NYS retirement systems stop funding climate destruction and divest from fossil fuels. We led the successful campaign to divest New York City's five pensions in 2018 and to divest the NYS Common Retirement fund in 2020. We are now working to get the NYS Teachers Retirement System to divest.

December 9, 2020 Comptroller DiNapoli announces that the NYS Common Retirement Fund will divest!

Thanks to the hundreds of activists in dozens of groups across the state for their efforts to get Comptroller DiNapoli to divest from fossil fuels. Thank you Comptroller for taking climate leadership and thanks to Senator Krueger and Assemblymember Ortiz for their efforts to get the comptroller to divest. Here is Divest NY's press release.
