Divest Claremont Colleges

Last night 80 students stood in solidarity with #LomadeBácum and called for freedom for #FidencioAldamaPérez, Yaqui land and water defender, political prisoner for FIVE years. #FIDENCIOALDAMALIBERTAD #SOLIDARIDADCONBÁCUM #PRESENTACIÓNCONVIDAYA #REMOVETHEIRNAMES 1/3

URGENT UPDATE: The drill they will use to destroy Wedzin Kwa is now in place. We will never stop defending our yintah the way our ancestors have done for thousands of years. We need all your support now to ensure it will never be functional. #theTimeisNOW #WeAreAllOne

For US higher ed, divesting from fossil fueled planetary destruction must mean: (i) from endowments, (ii) from @TIAA & (iii) no fossil-fuel-funded research. We demand all three! @ilanabana @billmckibben @amazonwatch @DivestPrinceton @Divest5Cs @LeverforChange @DominicBoyer

Also behind colleges, like @CMCnews, that insist on investing in fossil fueled planetary catastrophe. These institutions are de facto science deniers as they shill for rich trustees, like K & R of @KKR_Co. #DivestNow #KeepItAllInTheGround

BREAKING: This evening alone, the United States of America has been struck by no fewer than 6 natural disasters. A thread on these events. 🧵 First, a massive flash flood has torn through Yellowstone National Park destroying roads and bridges. twitter.com/YellowstoneNPS…

This is @CMCnews's funding for its campus expansion. Will @Ath_CMC or its Open Academy host a debate abt whether naming buildings after R & K is really different than after dead folks who did evil? @StopMoneyPipe @KKRkills @TheFIREorg @AAUP @divesteddotorg @sdccoalition

Happy #EarthDay. Return land to Indigenous people. Dismantle all prisons & militaries that poison the land and cage & kill our kin. Open the borders. Shut down extractive companies. There's no healing for the earth under capitalism. Clean food, water, wages, healthcare for all

Rather than releasing information about endowment investments, @pomonacollege BOT decided to sell mineral rights to allow corporations to pump oil on college property. The refusal to divest from fossil fuels is a moral failure that threatens all life on earth. #divestnow
