School employees usually have pension plans; colleges and universities have endowments and other investments. Fund managers answer to donors and community members, so you can influence them to shift investments away from fossil fuels and to renewables and other sustainable measures.

• As an alumnus, advocate for your alma mater to divest from fossil fuels and invest in renewables.
• If you’re a student, organize teach-ins or campaigns to influence fund managers.
• Advocate for public school pension investment policies that include community values as well as financial return in the criteria used by fund managers.
