350 Montgomery County - Maryland We are a group of Montgomery Co. activists working towards solutions to the climate crisis. Let's make MoCo sell off its $112M in oil & coal investments!

350 Montgomery County is a local group affiliate of the international nonprofit 350.org. To preserve our planet, scientists tell us we must reduce the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere from its current level of over 400 parts per million to below 350 ppm. Join us to say YES to a clean energy future and NO to climate destruction! The Montgomery County Employee Retirement System (MCERS) pension fund has invested over $112M in 71 of the top 200 oil & gas and coal companies, including notable bad actors Exxon Mobil, Chevron and Arch Coal Company. Help us pass legislation to require MCERS to stop investment in the top 200 fossil fuel companies and sell off its existing fossil fuel investments over the next 5 years. Respected institutions like public pension funds and colleges need to publicly break from companies whose "business plan" is to produce as much fossil fuel as they can, despite knowing that inevitably would lead to dangerous climate change. Divestment will loosen the grip the fossil fuel industry has on our political system, finally making a price on carbon and rapidly transitioning to clean, renewable power possible.

Public opposition is mounting over the large water, and electricity demands and other strains that Data Centers, often the size of warehouses, place on communities.

Join The Climate Mobilization (a member of the Climate Coalition in MoCo) this Thursday, May 21 at 7:30–8:30pm to discuss Data Center zoning, regulations currently being reviewed by the MoCo Council and how this will affect the hyperscale data center proposed for Dickerson, MD.

We need to ensure there are limits to data center locations and their impact on county residents, including the oversized use of energy and water. Learn about the issues and how we can ensure our councilmembers put county residents first.

Speakers will discuss :
● What are the pending zoning and regulatory actions
● How to improve these actions to protect MoCo residents
● How you can help ensure residents' priorities are placed first
