On November 19, 2013, Susan Strong of The Metaphor Project (http://www.metaphorproject.org) conducted a workshop for 350 Bay Area (http://www.350bayarea.org) divestment campaigners in Berkeley, California, to learn how to talk about fossil-fuel divestment in a clear, accessible way. Her emphasis is on using stories, images, words, and metaphors that connect with Americans' experiences and expectations. 

The 350 divestment campaign is working with colleges, universities, public pension funds, cities, and faith-based organizations to address the climate-change crisis. Our goal is for these groups to freeze any new investment in fossil-fuel companies immediately and to divest completely within five years.
