   Friends,

   We have big news – this week, a historic climate justice motion was
passed
   at the 2017 Trades Union Congress calling for the TUC to address the
   climate crisis and work for a just transition; including backing fossil
   fuel divestment.

   This is an incredible victory for the union members and organisers who
   have been working tirelessly to build a worker-led vision for climate
   justice, and could be a huge step forward for the divestment movement in
   building the power we need to win.

]- Share this post on Facebook celebrating the news.

   The resolution was passed unanimously by delegates to the TUC
representing
   5.7 million union members across the country. It outlined a brilliant
   vision for energy democracy and climate justice – including public and
   democratic ownership of the energy system; support for workers
affected by
   the renewable transition; and the promotion of divestment.

   And this win comes hot on the heels of UNISON’s decision to back
   divestment just a couple of months ago, thanks to the work of countless
   grassroots members across the UK passing local branch motions. When we
   come together and get organised in our communities, we can start to build
   the powerful movement we need to fight for climate justice.

   So help us share the great news with your friends on [
