Student climate movement. We demand @AucklandUni Foundations divest from coal, oil & gas ✖️ #ForAllOurFutures ✖️ VC Stuart McCutcheon, whose side are you on?

BREAKING NEWS: WIN! Just now Minister of Conservation and Minister of Energy Resources have denied access to conservation land for the Te Kuha Mine project. This decision is a win for people-power, thanks to everyone who signed our petition! @coalaction #KeepItInTheGround

Our own Ben Martelli: "I’m happy to be part of this movement, but it’s a shame. It’s a shame because I’ve got exams to study for and it’s hard trying to save the world at the same time."

Hey @AucklandUni, hurry up and #divest so we can focus on exams! https://t.co/NsyvzZPoOT

[350 Aotearoa @350nz]

The fact that @AucklandUni still won't #divest from fossil fuels is becoming more of a problem for its students. It's ridiculous to still be standing by the fossil fuel industry in this day and age. Thanks for your amazing mahi @FossilFreeUoA

"It's rare and encouraging to see a government that's figured out where the future lies." @billmckibben says @jacindaardern and NZ are providing much-needed leadership through oil exploration ban. #EndOil https://t.co/Jy6jNVY6gB

UPDATE: University security have approached us, asking us to remove the banner

Even when divestment campaigns don't win right away, they win: the constant reminder of who's causing global warming reshapes attitudes constantly. https://t.co/D9Vv1e3vms

BREAKING! @FossilFreeUoA have dropped a banner from the @AucklandUni General Library calling on VC Stuart McCutcheon to divest the University from coal, oil and gas! #fossilfree

#FossilFree @KarloMila reads from her new poem... "It may not be the end of the world as we know it, but let us not fear the rebuilding of another one."

[350 Aotearoa @350nz]

This morning @billmckibben met some the wonderful team @FossilFreeUoA. @AucklandUni, it’s time to go #fossilfree - this movement is unstoppable!

[Alex Johnston @alex_m_johnston]

"we may not able to get a global carbon tax yet but we can impose a form of carbon tax with our bodies" @billmckibben quoting @NaomiAKlein. Why the #fossilfree movement is crucial

[350 Aotearoa @350nz]

This morning @billmckibben had breakfast with NZ Minister for Climate change @jamespeshaw, & @NZGreens Co-leader @MaramaDavidson to discuss climate change action, solutions and just transitions in Aotearoa and beyond. #fossilfree #endoil
