  • Columbia College Chicago: Go Fossil Free!
    Climate change is accelerating. We are witnessing the increasing impacts of a warming planet more and more consistently; in this last year alone our country experienced record-breaking heat, droughts, and hurricanes, which impacted hundreds of thousands of people and cost our country hundreds of billions of dollars. Hurricane Sandy alone caused $50bn in damages. Experts agree that global warming caused by humans burning fossil fuels will continue to accelerate and intensify these tragic climate disasters. The scientific consensus is clear and overwhelming; we cannot safely burn even half of global fossil-fuel reserves without dangerously warming the planet for several thousand years. As public pressure to confront climate change builds, we call on Columbia College Chicago to immediately freeze any new investment in fossil-fuel companies, and to divest within five years from direct ownership and from any commingled funds that include fossil-fuel public equities and corporate bonds. We believe such action on behalf of Columbia College Chicago will not only be a sound decision for our institution's financial portfolio, but also for the wellbeing of its current and future graduating classes, who deserve the opportunity to graduate with a future not defined by climate chaos.

  • Vanguard University of Southern California: Go Fossil Free!
    The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and TAKE CARE OF IT. -Genesis 2:3.What will the lord say if His followers do nothing to combat the greed of men?"I brought you into a fertile land to eat its fruit and rich produce. But you came and defiled my land and made my inheritance detestable." -Jeremiah 2:7. Climate change is accelerating.
