Fossil Free Stanford

BREAKING‼️: In an official complaint filed Wednesday morning w/ the Ca. attorney general Rob Bonta (@AGRobBonta), we argue, alongside the @FossilFree5, that @Stanford ‘s fossil fuel investments aren’t just immoral; they’re ILLEGAL.

So excited to be hosting @FrancesHaugen tonight with @SumOfUs , moderated by @TheMichelleBao !

The U.S. oil industry is lobbying for the Biden to go soft on Russian sanctions despite Ukraine invasion. "Sanctions should be as targeted as possible in order to limit potential harm" to U.S. companies, said the American Petroleum Institute.

Why are college students living rent-free in oil industry lobbyists' heads? Maybe because the movement to make it clear that fossil fuel investment is immoral and illegal is winning — and they know it.

How fossil fuel investments are illegal for universities and other non-profit institutions. The Fossil Free 5 legal complaints, explained. THREAD 👇👇👇

Today, students at Yale, Princeton, MIT, Stanford, and Vanderbilt launched a coordinated legal campaign to force their schools to divest from fossil fuels -- a move that could not only set new precedent for the 5 colleges, but all institutional investors. grist.org/protest/the-ca…

Shout out to student activists at @FossilFreeYale @DivestStanford @DivestPrinceton @FossilFreeMIT Vanderbilt for lawsuits to compel divestment. You are our climate leaders who teach the universities! #divestment washingtonpost.com/education/2022…
