It feels stunning but we did it! This is a HUGE win! Incredible kudos to everyone from Students for a Just and a Stable Future to Divest Harvard to Harvard Forward. It’s been a decade of work, and so proud of everyone involved to making this happen! Fossil Fuel Divest Harvard 🔶 Harvard Forward

HARVARD JUST DIVESTED FROM FOSSIL FUELS.
Because great activists never let up.
They don't use the word 'divestment,' but they said they have no direct investments left, will make no new ones, and that their indirect investments are in 'runoff mode' and will be allowed to expire

Imagine if were the ones who were storming the Capitol building.

Thousands of black people laying siege to the seat of government — in the middle of a joint session of Congress?

Just imagine the reaction.

A huge thank you to the thousands of alumni who have chosen to stand for climate justice and more inclusive governance at Harvard. We’re so grateful to everyone who has joined us on this journey over the last ten months. No matter what happens, we’ve done something incredible.

Official Harvard is fighting back against divestment activists running for the board. Please: vote for the Harvard Forward slate of good souls who don't want Hvd to simply be a factory for Wall St.

🚀 THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK 🛸

27 HAA leaders have circulated an anti-Harvard Forward letter that is riddled with inaccuracies and misleading accusations, signing it 'Yours in truth.'

'It’s not obvious to me why the retail company... the cloud computing company and the Prime video company should be the same company...They’re not particularly related to each other, and I think it’s actively distorting and harmful. nytimes.com/2020/07/22/tec…

It is unfortunate that you are using them in a manner that undercuts the law and erodes the Constitution. I wonder if you'll be like those Watergate guys who all wound up advocating for prison reform after doing time.

'International investors bought bonds backed by the crime proceeds of Italy’s most powerful mafia.... An estimated €1bn of these private bonds were sold to international investors between 2015 and 2019, according to market participants.'

Another win for financial capitalism!

Neither school would be remotely the same without their vibrant and strong international communities - I hope other colleges/universities will join them in fighting back against ICE's arbitrary decision!

👁️ WATCH our new video, ✏️ SIGN our petition: buff.ly/2NFTTA6

@Wholefoods & Jeff Bezos should do more than pay lip service to the movement and stop retaliating against workers who are organizing to support civil rights.
