Friday and Saturday, February 13th and 14th, are the dates set for Global Divestment Day. Two days are scheduled for the campaign to accommodate the more than 300 different events across six continents that are planned, from petitions delivered to government and financial institution offices on Friday to public marches and rallies on Saturday.

Organizers of the two-day Day are asking individuals to close their accounts with banks and pension funds that invest in fossil fuel companies. They are urging college students to plan flash-mobs, vigils, and sit-ins to request university endowments to divest. Faith leaders are being asked to urge pension funds and communities to divest. And public rallies are planned for financial capitals around the world to call on investment institutions to join the campaign.
