We, Vassar students, alumni, and supporters, call on the Vassar Board of Trustees to commit to divest from fossil fuels over the next 12 years. We see the devastating impact of fossil fuel extraction, processing, and consumption upon communities and ecosystems throughout the world. Climate change threatens our health, our environment, our economy, and our future. We must act now: it is a moral imperative.
We have the opportunity to lead the nation towards a more just and sustainable future!
