Edinburgh Uni's People and Planet group - a society for student activism. Lobbying @EdinburghUni to go #fossilfree and #divest from fossil fuels & arms.
THOUSANDS of kids outside @ScotParl today dancing, chanting, conga-lining and shouting “SYSTEM CHANGE NOT CLIMATE CHANGE”
Totally brilliant and joyful and political and GREAT
Tomorrow we school strike for the climate in 1769 places in 112 countries around the world. And counting.
Everyone is welcome. Everyone is needed. Let’s change history. And let’s never stop for as long as it takes. #fridaysforfuture#schoolstrike4climate#climatestrike
big day!!! if you're an Edinburgh United student, we will be meeting in bristo sq at 9 to leave for parliament (in waves) to support the incredible kids taking part in #YouthStrike4Climate !!!
Barclays are not invincible to public pressure. @EdinburghUni it is our money that allows them to bankroll ecological destruction, human rights abuses and climate change- take a stand and #divestbarclays#gogreen2018
UK universities remain deeply complicit with climate breakdown through their investment and institutional links despite their "social responsibility policies". @EdinburghUni the hypocrisy must end #divestbarclays#gogreen2019
We cannot forget that whilst we campaign for banks to ditch fossil fuel projects, there are communities leading resistance on the front lines against the damage being funded by @Barclays#divestbarclays#gogreen2019
UK universities cannot claim to be "socially responsible" while aiding and investing in banks that fund climate change: @EdinburghUni must #divestbarclays in order to have any hope of being a green institution #gogreen2019
@EdinburghUni withdrawing direct investments in the fossil fuel industry isn't enough to resist the incoming climate crisis: you must clean up your investments further and #divestbarclays#gogreen2019
🌍"I trust that in the face of this crisis you will take appropriate actions to support these brave young people." @Ross_Greer pens a letter to Scotland's school leaders #YouthStrike4Climate ✊ https://t.co/V2AYaBUsoZ
Crying my eyes out at these amazing kids outside @scotgov
Just spoke to a 7 year old who said “in 11 years I’ll be 18 and it will be too late”
They shouldn’t have to be doing this, but our leaders are not taking action so they have to
