Sunrise Movement member Jayla Simon says by the board not divesting from fossil fuel corporations now they “are violating every MSU community value that makes up the social conscience framework.”

"We want to trust you. But we cannot without information coming to us. We have done so much to tell you what we want. But you never truly listen.

Put a student representative on the board to ensure trust and accountability in your future actions.

Powerful message from @mjhaite of @SunriseMSU to the Board of Trustees, laying out the drastic environmental impacts of climate change. "I want to have living wildlife to manage."

Stunning opener to the petition: "In 2020, Michigan State University invested $2.05 million in Marathon Petroleum Corporation. This is the same amount of money 137 in-state students pay for tuition."

@womackmo @sunrisespartans @thesnews Did any of the other trustees acknowledge the Sunrise speakers? Did trustee @OKeefeforMSU offer to meet with Sunrise or with university experts to discuss this “very complex problem”?

Student Eli Folts advocates for fossil fuel divestment at MSU: “There has been mass community support, and it is unfair for you to sit here and not heed our calls and demands while we watch as you fund the destruction of our planet.”

Madeleine Tocco from @sunrisespartans expresses her support toward fossil fuel divestment. “We do not know the full scale or scope of the stains on this institution,” Tocco said. “Without transparency, there can be no true accountability.”
