BREAKING! After serious pressure from #Indigenous leaders & #ClimateFinance movement, Bank of America says "it won’t provide project financing for #OilAndGas exploration in the #Arctic after facing opposition from environmentalists." 👏👏👏 bloomberg.com/news/articles/… #StopTheMoneyPipeline

Congratulations Fossil Free Lakehead. Great accomplishment. Good time to also focus on #climate positive investments, as in #renewableenergy and #energytransition.

So we know that McGill University is one of the last universities in Montreal to commit to divestment from fossil fuels. Despite wide support, the BOG keeps rejecting the motion. How can we pressure them to make more just decisions? By following the money! tinyurl.com/BoycottMetro

We support #BeyondDivestmentUW because universities have no right to profit off of ecological destruction that puts humans and wildlife at risk. University of Waterloo make the right choice and join the divestment movement!

This is shameful Simon Fraser University. Disciplining students for painting a WASHABLE MURAL about climate change in the era of CLIMATE CRISIS is not a good look. Students are showing leadership and we need institutions to listen up. The community is watching Simon Fraser University Joy Johnson

Within a couple weeks, senior admin of both Simon Fraser University and McMaster University removed gorgeous murals for climate justice students created.

Shame on McMaster University for using intimidation tactics on @macdivest Students were threatened with arrest due to "misconduct & mischief" for POSTERING & are banned from campus unless it's for academic reasons. They are scared so they're silencing student voices. This is UNACCEPTABLE!
