PACK THE ROOM: FGOC Meeting in Santa Clara County!
2025-11-06 14:00 - 16:00
PACK THE ROOM!
Santa Clara County has a history of investing in fossil fuel companies like Chevron, which are deeply complicit in the genocide of Palestinians. That’s why on November 6, we are mobilizing with San Jose Against War, Vigil4Gaza, and De Anza SJP for divestment at the next Santa Clara County Finance and Government Operations Committee meeting. We’re calling on our county to take action and adopt an official policy not to invest in fossil fuel companies or companies complicit in genocide again!

📍 70 W Hedding St, San Jose
