The University of Massachusetts Fossil Fuel Divestment Campaign is continuing to garner support as students begin their fourth day of occupation in the Whitmore Administration Building, Since the occupation began, 34 students have been arrested on trespassing charges.
About 50 are occupying the building Thursday, said Divest spokesman Filipe Carvalho. He said the plan is to continue to occupy the building until the university commits to completely divesting from the top 200 fossil fuel companies.
The request was made four years ago, they said, and resubmitted to Board of Trustee Chairman Victor Woolridge and UMass President Marty Meehan earlier this week with the latest deadline, which was Wednesday.
The campaign wants UMass to come up with a plan for divestment in two months with full divestment accomplished by 2021.[…]
The Massachusetts Society of Professors has expressed its solidarity with the activists and the UMass Fossil Fuel Divestment Campaign.
Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein tweeted that the students are giving “us hope for the future divest from fossil fuels now.”
State Sen. Jamie Eldridge, D-Acton, touted his support as well on Facebook. “As we know, the fossil fuel industry is the main driver of man-made climate change,” Eldridge said. “People around the world are facing the deadly effects of our warming climate, and the Commonwealth’s universities must take a stand and divest its funds from the companies who benefit from and perpetuate climate change.”
