I'm also involved in Fossil-free Greater Manchester aiming to get Gtr Mcr Pension Fund to divest. See steady state mcr site (URL below) for links etc. Carolyn Kagan and I had a letter on BPS fossil fuel investments in the Psychologist of I think Sept (attached) following up on one from 2 Oxford Uni colleagues. Following dismissive treatment by the he BPS hon treasurer we four have written to the he President as chair of trustees. Depending on his response we'll go wider with a member campaign. I can send copy of the latter letter to indivs on request. I also like the idea of helping organize parallel events to establishment conferences. They thing is to keep creative and not get stuck in campaigning ruts (e.g. automatically thinking "let's have a march").

Just wanted to add some quick comments. I was in Paris as part of the activism and have to say the 'climate action zone' or 'people's COP21' really inspired me in terms of ways we could put on 'alternative conferences'. In the BPS Comm Psych Section we have developed the idea of a Community Psychology Festival - which to me is a step towards participatory approaches to sharing psychology and learning from communities. But perhaps we could look at psychologists facilitating 'alternative people's' events to others conferences etc that are happening?! I'm also involved in Divest Hackney - encouraging Hackney council to divest its pensions from fossil fuels industry. I wonder if we could look at other institutions which psychologists have influence over/are influenced by and what, if any, investments they have in fossil fuel industry through their financial structures? eg the BPS, HCPC, Universities? There is of course the brilliant steady state Manchester work of Mark as he's mentioned and it would be great to hear more from you Mark about what you think we could do to replicate that work elsewhere? Thanks again Annie. HAPPY NEW YEAR dear Community Psychologist List.. Whoever and wherever you are out there! Here's to a peaceful and hopeful 2016!
