Earth Week has come to an end, but the need for activism and the spread of factual information regarding climate change and the organizations negatively impacting our planet continues.
Thursday, April 23rd was officially deemed “Divest Day.” Climate activists across the globe took to social media to show their dissent against Chase Bank and other financial institutions funding the fossil fuel industry and deforestation.
Under the hashtags #stopthemoneypipeline and #peoplenotpolluters, we saw activists of all ages and backgrounds using their collective voices to share information.
Here are a few posts that inspired us. We hope seeing like-minded individuals across the world use their creativity and social platforms to enact change will inspire you too!
