Fossil fuels and the Israeli occupation are destroying communities and Wesleyan University is profiting.

See Wesleyan University students at 0:32 calling for Wesleyan's divestment from the fossil fuel industry and Israeli apartheid. #NobodyWins youtube.com/watch?v=kthIpZ…

Reminder: Michael S Roth justifies Wesleyan University's fossil fuel investments (up to $59 million!) by making the "you hate capitalism, but you have iPhone" argument, but for fossil fuel investments🙄 (and his Q&A page doesn't address student demands for divestment from Israeli apartheid!)

How can you claim to care about things like this when Wesleyan University holds up to $59 million in fossil fuel investments and you have still made no actual commitments to divestment?

Is Wes profiting off warmongering? When you invest $59,325,000 in “natural resources,” war can make you a lot of money. Wesleyan University must say no to profits made off the deaths of Iranians and Iraqis by committing to plans for immediate divestment. No to fossil fuels, no to war!

There is a illegal raid happening on Wet'suwet'en land in the name of the fossil fuel industry and the Canadian government. Find out what’s been happening and follow thread; this is violent colonialism happening in real time. #Wetsuweten #WetsuwetenStrong

Bulldozers have cleared up to #Unistoten territory escorted by RCMP. We are in ceremony and call on our ancestors to stand with us. We will stand our ground in the face of this illegal invasion. All eyes on Unist'ot'en yintah! #Wetsuwetenstrong Support: UNISTOTEN.CAMP

We are in Usdan tonight as the Wesleyan University Board of Trustees are here for the February Board Meeting. While the meeting is closed to the public, we are handing out flyers as trustees enter the building to remind them why #divestment is so crucial

This is an unclear commitment by Wesleyan. There has been no systems of accountability or transparency put in place to see this through. The 2030 date is far too late. Wesleyan University and Michael S Roth have also not responded to our demand to divest from the Israeli occupation.
