We need Canada to:

🔨 Create new institutions to get the job done
✅ Not just encourage change, require it.
📢 Tell the truth!

On June 1st, the University of Waterloo's Board of Governors unanimously voted in favour of a new carbon-neutral investment strategy. It is divestment by any other name, but its also more than that. Can be seen as the end of a years long campaign, & the beginning of something new

Our op-ed in @guardian: "In a climate emergency, we cannot afford to kick back, watch the game and ignore reality... As we fight to divest, we fight to radically transform an unsustainable and unethical status quo." bit.ly/34ktsXA #nobodywins #divestharvard #divestyale

BREAKING: Over 150 Yale + Harvard students, alumni, faculty stormed the field at #HarvardYale to demand DIVESTMENT from fossil fuels & cancel holdings in Puerto Rican debt. When it comes to the status quo, #NobodyWins. @YaleEJC @FossilFreeYale @DivestHarvard

500,000 young people marched for climate action in Montreal last month. It seems like divesting is the least McGill could do in response.
No university should invest in the destruction of people and the planet. Students, faculty, and staff agree: it's time for @McGillU to cut its $50million+ investment in the fossil fuel industry. #DivestNOW facebook.com/DivestMcGill

BREAKING: @smithcollege just committed to divest from fossil fuels!!! We are so excited and grateful to all the student organizers that made this happen and all of our supporters.
Divest Dal retweeted
We just made history.
800,000+ people in Canada and 3+ million across the globe marched today.
That brings the global total between September 20-27th to 7 million people (& counting) for the #ClimateStrike.
Let that sink in. Then, join the movement >> text VOTE to 67076.

Most effective student group I've ever come upon, in my ~35 years of dealing with student groups, some of which I was a member of.

Amazing! @DivestDal is one step closer to fossil fuel divestment after students successfully got their admin to sign onto global sustainable investments principles! m.facebook.com/notes/divest-… – at Ottawa, Ontario

Today was a huge win for @DivestDal and a moment to show @DalPres what Dal students are all about. Dalhousie BOG committed to signing onto the UN's Principles of Responsible Investing, which includes recognizing the risk that fossil fuels pose to our endowement fund. #DalDoBetter

Phenomenal! This is a huge step in the right direction from my alma mater 😁
BREAKING: @DalhousieU BoG votes to sign onto the UN Principles of Responsible Investing & to increase investments in renewable energy!
This is a big win for our campaign, but we'll keep fighting until Dal commits to full fossil fuel divestment.
