Harvard Alumni: Vote today to move Harvard forward on: 🌎 climate action ✊ racial justice 🤝 inclusive governance

[Harvard Forward @HarvardForward]

We did it! After years of student-led action with faculty & alumni support, Harvard is finally getting serious in the fight against climate change. We're proud that our campaign has allowed tens of thousands of alumni to help push #HarvardForward onto the right side of history 🌎

BREAKING: After a decade of constant pressure by students, faculty, and alums, @HARVARD IS FINALLY DIVESTING FROM FOSSIL FUELS.

It’s a massive victory for our community, the climate movement, and the world — and a strike against the power of the fossil fuel industry. (THREAD)

reminder to undergraduates that if you are a CA/TA employed by the university you’re probably eligible to join hgsu!

Congratulations to every person who has been committed to fighting environmental degradation at every level. I am so honored to have worked with so many of you through @HarvardForward and am inspired by so many I have never met.

I am thrilled to have been part of the historic effort to get Harvard to divest from fossil fuels!

I can’t think of a better way to end my Twitter summer break than with the reminder that our voices make a difference.

HARVARD JUST DIVESTED FROM FOSSIL FUELS.
Because great activists never let up.
They don't use the word 'divestment,' but they said they have no direct investments left, will make no new ones, and that their indirect investments are in 'runoff mode' and will be allowed to expire

It goes without saying, but we'll say it anyway: none of this would've been possible without our supporters. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
