Divest West Midlands
Divest West Midlands Local Pension Funds (DivestWMPF) is a group campaigning for the West Midlands Pension Fund (WMPF) to divest their holdings in the fossil fuel industry and reinvest this money into clean energy, local infrastructure, or fossil free investments. To help make this happen they are asking each of the seven local councils (including Coventry), whose employees’ pensions are held by the West Midlands Pension Fund, to pass motions calling for this change.
They want to keep fossil fuels in the ground and avert a climate crisis, saying “If it’s wrong to wreck the climate, it’s wrong to profit from that wreckage.”
