BREAKING: 150+ @Yale & @Harvard students, faculty & alumni disrupt #HarvardYale game to demand unis #divest their $71B endowment from fossil fuels. I speak to @guardian about how Big Oil's "invisible colonization of academia" is undermining climate action: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/nov/23/harvard-yale-football-game-protest-fossil-fuels?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other
As a @Harvard researcher studying the history of climate denial by the fossil fuel regime with @NaomiOreskes, and as a former leader of @FossilFreeMIT, I am proud to support this powerful act of civil disobedience by @YaleEJC, @FossilFreeYale, & @DivestHarvard.

The message from @Harvard & @Yale students disrupting the #HarvardYale game is simple: When our universities invest their combined $71 billion endowments in fossil fuels and Puerto Rican debt holdings, #NobodyWins.
Here's why the fossil fuel regime should be terrified by #HarvardYale protest: Politicians have talked for decades about "our children & grandchildren" who will face climate peril, but guess what: they're here, they're alive, they're angry as f***, & they're never going away.
