The science tells us we have to stop, so musicians are pledging to take their money out of banks and superannuation funds that are funding the expansion of the fossil fuel industry. These musicians are joining a movement with huge momentum, a movement of universities, churches, investment funds and thousands of people saying “it is wrong to wreck the climate and we want no part of that.” And as musicians, they are amplifying that message, singing it for the world to hear.
Amplify Divestment is helping musicians with the practical process of divesting and with communicating it to their fans. So far, some of Australia’s best loved and respected musicians, such as Ash Grunwald, Missy Higgins, Rob Hirst, Nigel Westlake and Felix Riebl, are taking part.
