Here’s a great roundup of what’s been going on at the 234+ campuses demanding divestment, from Mary Schellentrager, Energy Action Coalition’s divestment campaigner.
Fossil fuel divestment campaigns on over 230 campuses kicked off 2013 with unprecedented energy and power. Our movement’s rapid growth has inspired endorsements from university presidents, proposals for pension funds,churches, and cities to divest, and even has the fossil fuel industry on the defensive.
On campuses nationwide, thousands of students have returned from winter break with greater passion and determination to win. They are holding teach-ins, winning endorsements, rallying, and petitioning their Trustees with unparalleled momentum – and the national media is taking notice.
