A new campaign in partnership with Just Stop Oil to force the University of Leeds to cut ties with Barclays Bank, Europe's largest fossil fuel funder.

💀 This is university intimidation to keep us quiet, so they can fund climate breakdown and mass death on their own terms.

✊ It ain’t gonna work - we’ll be back this Friday 24th, 1pm on the Parkinson steps. Tell a friend to tell a friend!!

🔥First Divest Barclays action - a little TASTE of what is to come if the university refuse to meet our no-brainer demand: cut ties with Barclays, the biggest fossil fuel funder in Europe.

🤬After the pour, just before the fake-oil was cleaned in 10 minutes by a pressure washer, a student was HANDCUFFED and threatened with arrest.

📝Dear Simone Buitendijk, Vice Chancellor at @UniversityLeeds @UoL_Sus ...................

We've sent a letter to the Vice Chanceller, and her executive board, to demand they cut ties with Europe's biggest fossil fuel funder (1/3)

[UoL Divest Barclays @DivestBarclays]

We surveyed over 250 students at UoL and found 93% agree, Barclays has gotta go.

It's time for the Uni management to put the future of its students first and take their money out of dirty banks. (2/3)
