Madeleine Tocco from Sunrise Movement @ Michigan State University expresses her support toward fossil fuel divestment. “We do not know the full scale or scope of the stains on this institution,” Tocco said. “Without transparency, there can be no true accountability.”

“The climate crisis we face is decades in the making and won’t be solved by proceeding with business as usual,” Sunrise Movement @ Michigan State University organizer Savitri Anantharaman said.

Student Eli Folts advocates for fossil fuel divestment at MSU: “There has been mass community support, and it is unfair for you to sit here and not heed our calls and demands while we watch as you fund the destruction of our planet.”

Our hub members restated our demands to the Board of Trustees this morning, highlighting their hypocrisy and the necessary urgency this issue requires. MSU BoT, you know our future is at stake. #DivestMSU once and for all. 📸: The State News

Powerful message from @mjhaite of @SunriseMSU to the Board of Trustees, laying out the drastic environmental impacts of climate change. "I want to have living wildlife to manage." It's time to #DivestMSU

"We want to trust you. But we cannot without information coming to us. We have done so much to tell you what we want. But you never truly listen. Put a student representative on the board to ensure trust and accountability in your future actions.

Sunrise Movement member Jayla Simon says by the board not divesting from fossil fuel corporations now they “are violating every MSU community value that makes up the social conscience framework.”
