BREAKING: President Smith has again declined the opportunity to endorse divestment as part of a multi-faceted approach to stop climate change and ensure an equitable and just future for all of us. Join us today to show that, while President Smith and the Board of Managers have refused to stand with the will of a majority of faculty and students, we will forge on. We will build our movement beyond campus to fight against corrupt politicians that line the pockets of fossil fuel executives, and in doing so elect real leaders that will ensure a livable and prosperous future for all of us.
We know that in a future where we transition to renewable energy to stop climate change and create millions of good jobs, divesting from fossil fuels and reinvesting in renewable energy is the right decision, both financially and morally. This afternoon, we will memorialize President Smith’s disappointing decision to bet on the profitability of the fossil fuel industry over the wellbeing of the students of Swarthmore. We will be burying objects that represent what we love and have to lose to climate change. We will build our movement so that, when the time capsule is opened in 2067, we know we will have done everything in our power to preserve a livable planet for our communities.
Stand with us against corrupt politicians and dirty investments as we gather at 3pm outside of City Hall. Join us in showing President Smith the power and passion of true Swarthmore climate leaders: fight when she will not.
