Yet another @peopleandplanet win! The momentum is with us 🙏🙏

[People & Planet @peopleandplanet]

🎉 Hear-ye! Hear-ye! The University of Westminster divests from all fossil fuels! 🎉

We are so excited to see this victory bolster London-based university commitments to Fossil Free! Over half have now rejected investments in the fossil fuel industry. A vital act of solidarity with communities on the frontlines of both the fossil fuel industry’s destructive extraction practices and those experiencing the impacts of the climate crisis first and worst.

And we’re not done yet! We are now calling on @UniWestminster to break ties with the border industry! Sign our petition below or get in touch if you’d like to join the campaign!
