We as students deserve an education that meets our needs and does not come at the expense of our livelihoods or our future. We are excited to celebrate this moment together. Let's keep fighting. Love and Solidarity, Divest Carleton
To everyone who has been part of this campaign: Thank you. You made this possible. You made us powerful. We need you still.
Today, we celebrate a community victory, and pledge to keep fighting for a just and livable world. The climate justice fight at Carleton is not over.
Being at the mercy of the board meant 9 years of waiting on divestment, along with refusals to resolve other issues faced by students-especially low income, disabled, BIPOC, queer, and others. We will not praise the board as leaders because they finally voted to divest.
This campaign has made it abundantly clear that students, staff, and faculty need decision making power in the board room. This unelected leadership body has no connection to campus life. Board members fly to to meet behind closed blinds and guarded doors.
The climate crisis is affecting people right now, therefore we should take immediate, sweeping action, including a commitment to divest from mixed fossil fuel funds.
We remain infuriated with the board's refusal to divest from military industries or abstain from future private prison investments. War and incarceration are violences that cannot bankroll our education.
These movements inspire, empower, and inform us, despite Carleton admin’s attempts to erase their legacy. We are hopeful that Carls will continue to fight for a better world in the years to come, empowered as much by this victory as those before it.
We hope that this win acts as a catalyst for more social change in our community. This victory carries on a strong tradition of student activism at Carleton, such as divestment from Apartheid and wins made by Carls Talk Back and the Ujamaa collective.
The Carleton Board, which has consistently refused to be democratic or transperant, was not originally planning to vote this winter. Our occupation and the broad support we’ve received finally forced action.
Carlton's divestment demonstrate the power and success of campus organizing. It was the tireless work and escalation of activists that forced the board to divest.
We celebrates the @CarletonCollege ’s vote to divest from direct fossil fuel investments and eliminate indirect private fossil fuel holdings by 2030. This victory comes after 9 years of protest, advocacy, and pressure from students, alumni, faculty, and community members.
A big big deal! Thanks to the great activists @DivestCarleton, one of America's most eminent liberal arts colleges joins in the divestment movement today! For obvious reasons, Oscar the Penguin is celebrating!
The Board took action today on divestment, voting to reduce fossil fuel exposure in the endowment by immediately eliminating all direct holdings in fossil fuels & resolving to make no new investments in private funds focused exclusively on oil & gas. carleton.edu/news/stories/c…
🎉🎉🎉 It's been a long time coming, but @CarletonCollege took a huge step today in committing to reducing its endowment's exposure to fossil fuels! THANK YOU TO EVERYONE who has fought so hard for this change!

I'm going to show a few photos, by @movementphotog, from the big art workshop @dsolnit organized last week. Please share them around to get people excited about the huge day of action against the fossil-fueled banks that us older folk @ThirdActOrg are staging on 3/21/23!
BREAKING - The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) just announced a 20-year mineral withdrawal on federal land near the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness - a moratorium on copper-sulfide mining!
thanks @billmckibben . Carleton should be ashamed.
Somehow @CarletonCollege, one of America's great small colleges, has fallen behind its peers in divesting from fossil fuel. In a lovely video, its students remind the board that the time is now! youtu.be/G4l3q419Luk
