Sunrise Movement member Jayla Simon says by the board not divesting from fossil fuel corporations now they “are violating every MSU community value that makes up the social conscience framework.”

"We want to trust you. But we cannot without information coming to us. We have done so much to tell you what we want. But you never truly listen.
Put a student representative on the board to ensure trust and accountability in your future actions.

🧵THREAD: Members of the MSU community share their thoughts on the Board of Trustees' refusal to #DivestMSU

Got this fascinating mail from @UofCalifornia.
Apparently the "long-term prospects of companies that own fossil fuel reserves no longer meet the financial criteria for inclusion in the fund offerings" of the UC Retirement system.
Fossil fuel divestment is just sound business.

Stunning opener to the petition: "In 2020, Michigan State University invested $2.05 million in Marathon Petroleum Corporation. This is the same amount of money 137 in-state students pay for tuition."

Did any of the other trustees acknowledge the Sunrise speakers? Did trustee @OKeefeforMSU offer to meet with Sunrise or with university experts to discuss this “very complex problem”?

Madeleine Tocco from @sunrisespartans expresses her support toward fossil fuel divestment. “We do not know the full scale or scope of the stains on this institution,” Tocco said. “Without transparency, there can be no true accountability.”

#WhyDivest? Maggie Haite harps on the hypocrisy of @michiganstateu. While the university prides itself on its agriculture and ecological programs, it is funding a future that prevents the conservation and restoration of those programs. We must #Divest. Petition link in bio.
