We're looking to get maximum participation from GM Higher Education institutions in the climate strikes on the 20th of September. Hi!

First - sign our petition to the VCs of UoM, MMU and Salford for no disciplinary measures for staff who join the strike https://t.co/Jun5BUrmra

Climate Strikers and UCU strikers were out in force today. What a fantastic turnout! ✊✊✊

Just had a great call with @ManchesterHECS. Good to hear that Nancy knows we’re here, a shame to know that she isn’t willing to come and speak to us. However now the WiFi has been cut so if we’re a bit quiet for the night that’s why! #divestnow #fossilfree #peopleandplanet

[Higher Education Climate Strikers (GM) 🍃 @ManchesterHECS]

Conversation so 🔥🔥🔥 the WiFi couldn't handle it!

Surely a much more plausible reason than University of Manchester staff trying to shut down this sit-in??

This is how it's done!

We’re in occupation again over @OfficialUoM’s investments into Fossil Fuel companies including @Shell and @BP_plc, our University is complicit in crimes against, people, Planet and it’s students. #divestnow #wearethechange #fossilfree #timeisup #EnoughIsEnough #peopleandplanet

Come and join us for our Public Assembly on November 19th. We'll be hearing from a school climate striker and a member of XR Manchester about how we can grow our movement. We'll also be discussing our plans for the next #climatestrike on Nov. 29th.

We're in the dictionary now. The Merriam-Webster word of the year last year was justice. The Collins word of the year this year is #ClimateStrike. We spot a trend.

@PeopleUom @OfficialUoM ✋ Count us in!

Our universities still invest in fossil fuels. By helping to drive this market forward they put profit before people and planet.

The answer is simple: strike for climate action. Divest, divest, divest.

There is a fourth type of denial that is not mentioned here: those who act but do not go far enough. As the saying goes, they believe that “the situation is desperate but not serious.” This is the type that we find at our universities. #ClimateCrisis
