Read the Towards a People's Endowment campaign demands from @sfu350, @cjubc, and @divestuvic and call on your institutions to #DivestFromThePast and #ReinvestInOurFuture.

Great thread on the role of post secondary institutions beyond fossil fuel divestment 👇 check out the oped in the Nat O! Its really encouraging to see successful campaigns like @sfu350 @cjubc and @divestuvic collectively work towards even bigger campaigns and solutions💚
After almost a decade of organizing, @UBC, @SFU & @uvic have all committed to /mostly completed #divestment. We are so proud to be at this point! But divestment is just one important step in the long path to #ClimateJustice. Now we're calling on our uni's to #ReinvestInOurFuture

Grateful for all the student and faculty organizers who have been working towards this for over eight years. This is an ambivalent win, but one that arises from the dedication and commitment of the UVic community. @julietwattts @EmilyLowan @JKimmittRowe @divestuvic @EJburian
As of Sept. 30, UVic Foundation’s equity portfolio no longer has holdings of companies involved in the extraction & processing of coal, oil or natural gas; decarbonisation target set for entire portfolio.

While encouraging, the murky details of what fossil fuel holdings remain in other sections of the portfolio is not great. In any case, this is another step forward! Kudos to @divestuvic 🙌
In the meantime, *continue to #DivestTheRest !

Today I’m celebrating an important @uvic divestment decision - @uvic foundation has divested their equities, but millions in fixed investments remain, making this victory less clear than @SFU and @UofT. Grateful for the two generations of student activism that made this happen💪🏼

📣This afternoon, @uvic foundation announced that they have fully divested their public equity investments from fossil fuel extraction and processing. Full statement: divestuvic.com/important-div… 1/6
We would like to say a huge thank you to @DivestCanada, members of UVic Faculty especially @JKimmittRowe, the @UVSS, and everyone who has worked so hard over the past 8 years. 6/6

A simple and small step towards true climate action is fully divesting from fossil fuels. Students have been asking @uvic for full divestment for years and we are getting tired of holding our institutions accountable for their own supposed values. Please #divest @KevinHallUvic
UVic is funding Line 3 and other fossil fuel projects that threaten Indigenous sovereignty, land, water, and the future of our climate. Join us at the Student Divestment Virtual Rally to #DefundLine3 on March 5th to learn more and take action tinyurl.com/DL3Student

Huge congratulations to the untiring activists at @divestuvic--after 8 years of work, the University of Victoria has divested one of its two huge funds. We're talking $256 million. Go Thunder!
