On Friday, May 1, our president Tatiana Kaehler will be presenting the newly passed divestment resolution and the recent student referendum to the Board of Trustees at their spring meeting in Memorial. This is our biggest ask yet. College campuses across the nation are having sit-ins in support of fossil fuel divestment in their admissions buildings; Harvard, Tulane, Yale, Bowdoin, Wesleyan, and others have hosted similar events.
Join us for an hour long sit-in to show the Board of Trustees that now is the time to take real action on climate change. This will be a quiet sit-in– signs are encouraged, but no chanting– we want to build an atmosphere of respect and collaboration. The most important thing is that we occupy Memorial in solidarity. Media may attend.
Now is the time for Whitman to be a leader in this movement. Let’s demand action.
