The document says decisions about whether to divest should consider Types of Divestment Actions - Local Levels, Monies Covered, What Divestment Laws Affect, Content, and Means of Implementation. The Africa Resource Center maintains extensive divestment files - from samples of divestment recommendations, resolutions and ordinances to corporate performance records, to the financial consequences of divestment. The Center particularly concentrates on feasibility of implementing divestment, as determined by financial and service needs. In conjunction with Oakland's Divestment Ordinance, a country-wide survey was conducted to determine the implementation experience of cities and states with strong divestment resolutions and ordinances. The document mentions City Councils, Boards of Supervisors, pension boards, public utilities, public transport, school boards, Oakland Unified School District, Peralta Community College District, EBMUD (East Bay Municipal Utility District), BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit), AC Transit, Davis, San Francisco, Berkeley, Santa Cruz, partial and full divestment, the Sullivan Principles, fiduciary responsibility, Richmond, Oakland, Contra Costa County, Cotati, San Jose, Fresno, Alameda County, and Sonoma County.
