UC Divest

On Wednesday May 18 @UCDivest Coalition will give public comment at the annual UC Regents’ meeting + rally outside the @luskinhotella . We call for the complete divestment of UC funds from weapons manufacturing. 🧵 Thread 🧵 on how decades of work make total divestment possible.

Every day complete divestment from war and occupation gets closer. The UC has NO REASON to profit from the unethical, unsustainable business of warfare. Let’s hold them accountable. UC-affiliated? Sign up to join the mvmt in our linktree. Orgs, DM us to find ways to join.

The Daily Bruin’s coverage of our rally: twitter.com/dailybruin/sta…

The University of California puts millions of its students’ and staff’s money in the BIGGEST investor in weapons and guns manufacturing in the world. In 2020, UC Divest coalition formed to oppose the UC Regents’ heinous investment divestments. This is how we met the Regents.

If interested in giving public comment at the UC Regents board meeting tomorrow morning, follow these instructions today by 5PM:

Show the UC Regents what the student body wants. Tell your folks and come out to Luskin Conference Center outside the Regents' Meeting. 📣📢📣WE WON'T REST TIL THEY DIVEST!📣📢📣

In that same year, USAC passed another resolution against the Duterte regime. Duterte has purchased hundreds of billions of $$ in arms from companies the UC invests in and profits from.

Reminder that UCLA's student government passed a resolution in 2021 to divest from war. THE STUDENT BODY WANTS DIVESTMENT. Open thread. 🧵
