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.
Head to Coast Range Radio to hear the most recent interview with Divest Oregon! www.instagram.com/reel/DKzi-yg...
We are pushing to divest Oregon pension funds from fossil fuels, which are a main contributor to climate change.
Divest Oregon is proud to present the 2025 Climate Risk Report: No Place to Hide, which addresses the financial risk that climate change presents to state pension funds and suggests solutions to combat this risk.
You can read the whole report on our website: www.divestoregon.org/2025-climate...

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!

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.
