As world leaders meet in Paris, Seattle leaders will call upon the world’s largest charitable foundation, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, to divest from fossil fuels. Nearly three months ago, Gates Divest delivered a request to meet and a report on divestment to the Foundation. Despite having the support of over 60 Seattle organizations, 70+ faith leaders, over half the candidates for Seattle City Council, and former Seattle mayor Mike McGinn, the Foundation will not engage us in dialogue about divestment.
Please join us at a press conference on 11/30 as local political, religious, labor and social justice leaders call upon the Gates Foundation to divest for Paris. It’s not too late for the Foundation to be moral leaders.
