We are a statewide grassroots coalition of individuals and organizations who are calling for the Oregon State Treasury to account for its funding of climate devastation rather than prudent investing in a sustainable future.
HB 2081, the Treasury's "Net Zero" bill, has just passed the floor of the state Senate! This bill constitutes a step towards a just energy transition but is not without its shortcomings.

Oregon’s 529 College Savings Plan is intended to help families invest in their children or grandchildren’s future.
But right now, every single investment option in Oregon’s 529 plan holds significant fossil fuel assets!
✏️ Sign the Green 529 petition to change this!
Green529 - Oregon needs a fossil-free college savings option
All 40 of Oregon's college savings fund options invest in fossil fuels. We are a movement gathering signatures to get a fossil fuel free option added.

The Royal Bank of Canada & Bank of Montreal signal they will quit the Net Zero Banking Alliance, which is meant to advance climate action.

We warned their membership was #greenwashing, but quitting while fossil-fueled wildfires burn in Los Angeles seems both out of touch and the wrong move.
