Let the board of governors know how you feel about the university investing millions into fossil fuel projects annually!! csc-emailer.herokuapp.com/re… (link works best on computers)
The Divest Dal campout has had to pivot due to the weather and the university closing. Please check out our link tree for ways you can still be involved! Go to the email generator to send an email to all of the Board of Governor’s!
The same goes for @DalhousieU and (former) @DalPres who endorsed reports quoting the now defeated President Drew Faust.
THIS IS HUGE NEWS!!!! Way to go @DivestHarvard
You know who's really sad that Harvard was forced to divest today? The presidents of Yale and Princeton

@Cree_binch ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Friendly reminder that @DalhousieU has refused 2 divest from fossil fuel companies for YEARS.
By investing in corporations that usurp & harm unceded lands —Dalhousie is funding genocide & firmly standing against Indigenous sovereignty.
I don’t need or want a panel discussion.

@DalPres, why is @DalhousieU being left in the dust?
We don’t have an investment policy worth the PDF it is written on.
We CAN do better and we OWE it to students to do better.
Times are changing. Dal can’t be a stick in the mud on climate.
@DalStudentUnion
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

We support #BeyondDivestmentUW because a real divestment plan can show @DalhousieU and @DalPres that false solutions like #ESG don’t cut it in a climate emergency!
Exhibit A: Dal is still investing in @exxonmobil and 🇺🇸 private prisons.
Even after all these years of Dal’s unethical investments it still feels f#*%^d up to write that Dal invests in private prisons.

We spent years switching between arguments for divestment emphasizing the environment, social, and economic side.
The worst case scenario has become a reality for each.
For @DalhousieU , it was never about the arguments. It was fear of changing status quo.

20+ folks are occupying @AndyFillmoreHFX’s office, responding to calls to action from the Wet’suwet’en Nation.
Yesterday the RCMP raided & terrorized land defender & allies.
This is abhorrent behaviour, sanctioned by the settler state.
@JustinTrudeau this isn’t reconciliation
TBH we have always had a lot of support and leadership from #dalhousieu profs. Kudos to @divestuvic on getting some love from their faculty!
@DalhousieU admin needs to recognize that profiting from the wreckage of our planet is not a good lewk!

Hey @DalhousieU It’s time to move beyond investing in the climate crisis and start inspiring people with #divestment. Students need it, alumni need it and the world needs it.
On behalf of tuition-paying Smith parents everywhere: well played and thank you! And appreciation extends to @smithcollege alums who started the fight but graduated before they could savor this victory. It took all of you. So grateful.
Not a March. A PROTEST!
If this is true, we urge @JustinTrudeau to reconsider. This is not a “march “ it is a PROTEST. Against government inaction. And our priority will always be first with the frontlines indigenous activists and Chiefs who are coming to Montréal.

Once again, shocking news like this exposes how wrong @DalhousieU is for investing in the main contributors to climate change (from companies).
Real question... what WILL it take to #divestnow
European satellite agency concludes that June was the hottest month ever recorded on earth, our planet.
