About 30 students interrupted their Board of Trustees meeting at George Washington University last Friday. When civility fails, sometimes we need to escalate. Solidarity with @FossilFreeGW ! #DivestUK #DivestNow #uky #ForOurFuture #FossilFree

We emailed @universityofky administration to propose 3 interim goals for the endowment. These goals will move us closer to our primary goals of fossil fuel divestment, sustainable re-investment and transparent endowment. #uky #DivestNow #ForOurFuture #DivestUK #bootbooth

We had a great time at our action this past Friday. We handed out pamphlets to and collected signatures from a HUGE number of students and prospective students of @universityofky. It was a day of food, music, and citizenship! #DivestNow #DivestUK #FossilFree #ForOurFuture #uky

"At this moment in human history, education must engage with how to bridge the gap between knowledge and action. Divestment debates are forcing colleges and universities to reconsider how to contribute to a more resilient and sustainable future." #uky https://t.co/keTQT1cSOG

Divesting from fossil fuels could save @universityofky millions of dollars because of stranded assets and the upcoming carbon bubble. When we go past the threshold of a safe climate, the materials that can no longer be burned can no longer be sold. #DivestUK #DivestNow #uky

While our state and national governments refuse to act, smaller powers like @universityofky must take urgent action. Divest from fossil fuels and re-invest for a just transition now! #uky #DivestUK #DivestNOW #JustTransition #BootBooth #RiseForClimate https://t.co/j0OfCqGrbd
