Let the board of governors know how you feel about the university investing millions into fossil fuel projects annually!! https://t.co/kUvKtCDUe5 (link works best on computers)

The Divest Dal campout has had to pivot due to the weather and the university closing. Please check out our link tree for ways you can still be involved! Go to the email generator to send an email to all of the Board of Governor’s!

@CoopRadio @redeyeradio @CCPA_BC @EmilyLowan @DivestCanada @DivestMcGill @divestuvic It’s worth mentioning that the Board of Governors that sank divestment at @DalhousieU in 2014 included staff of Alton Gas which was in a battle with Indigenous water protectors in NS. Dal made it clear who side they were on. Time will tell if they correct their mistake.

@DevetRobert Our deepest sympathies to Robert’s family.
Thanks for your dedication to climate justice Robert!

💥Today @aberdeenuni announced it will #divest from all fossil fuels! 🥳

Major news ahead of #COP26 as they become the first Aberdeen institution to cut financial ties with the oil and gas industry.

Huge congrats to the campaigners who made it happen!

@joycey_marc A bazooka for the….
It’s fantastic news! Thanks @joycey_marc

[Divest Dal @DivestDal]

The same goes for @DalhousieU and (former) @DalPres who endorsed reports quoting the now defeated President Drew Faust.
THIS IS HUGE NEWS!!!! Way to go @DivestHarvard

[Bill McKibben @billmckibben]

You know who's really sad that Harvard was forced to divest today? The presidents of Yale and Princeton

Friendly reminder that @DalhousieU has refused 2 divest from fossil fuel companies for YEARS.

By investing in corporations that usurp & harm unceded lands —Dalhousie is funding genocide & firmly standing against Indigenous sovereignty.

I don’t need or want a panel discussion.

[Divest Canada Coalition @DivestCanada]

Check this out! Great work to all involved. #cdnpoli #divestment #climate

[Divest Dal @DivestDal]

@CarolineMerner @DalPres @mmscholarships @DalhousieU @DSUSO @DivestCanada It is time that @DalhousieU take the lead (from students) and put its money where it’s mouth is on sustainability!

[Divest Dal @DivestDal]

@Guyinenv @FossilFreeUW Yes! Huge congrats to @FossilFreeUW
🥳🥳🥳🤩🤩🤩

[Divest Dal @DivestDal]

@DalPres, why is @DalhousieU being left in the dust?
We don’t have an investment policy worth the PDF it is written on.
We CAN do better and we OWE it to students to do better.
Times are changing. Dal can’t be a stick in the mud on climate.

On June 1st, the University of Waterloo's Board of Governors unanimously voted in favour of a new carbon-neutral investment strategy. It is divestment by any other name, but its also more than that. Can be seen as the end of a years long campaign, & the beginning of something new

Even after all these years of Dal’s unethical investments it still feels f#*%^d up to write that Dal invests in private prisons.

We support #BeyondDivestmentUW because a real divestment plan can show @DalhousieU and @DalPres that false solutions like #ESG don’t cut it in a climate emergency!
Exhibit A: Dal is still investing in @exxonmobil and 🇺🇸 private prisons.
