The Fossil Fuel Free Pledge Accelerates Climate Action
The Fossil Fuel Free Pledge
"We pledge to not take any money from the oil, gas, investor-owned utilities and coal industries, including political action committee contributions, and we pledge to always prioritize the interests of equity, human health, our community, workers and the environment over interests of the fossil fuel and investor-owned utility profits."
The Fossil Fuel Free Pledge launch event will be taking place on Thursday, August 11 at 10:30 a.m. in Mission Bay - that's right, IN the bay, showing parts of our community will be underwater due sea level rise among many other climate change impacts.
Please meet at 1258 E Mission Bay Dr, San Diego, CA 92109 (Fiesta Island dirt parking lot adjacent to the event location) and there will be directional signage which will lead you to the event. If you have any questions, please contact Maya at 858-215-3135. See you there!

About the Pledge
This initiative provides transparency to the community about which organizations and elected officials have pledged not to accept fossil fuel money as part of their commitment to a healthy, equitable, ethical, just transition and sustainable world.
The climate crisis is here and not only have we seen the worst environmental impacts of the climate crisis but communities of concern are experiencing negative and long-lasting health impacts as a result.
We have witnessed how fossil fuel money given to elected officials and nonprofit organizations has eroded bold climate action for the sake of shareholder profits. This needs to stop. We need leaders and organizations to reject fossil fuel money, be held accountable and commit to real climate leadership.
How to Pledge
If your organization or if you are an elected official that would like to take the pledge, please fill in the sign-up form below to indicate interest and we will email you with confirmation and next steps.
