Over 1400 alumni and current students have pledged not to donate to Yale until our university divests from the fossil fuel industry and cancels its holdings in Puerto Rico's debt. If you're a senior who has taken the pledge, please consider donating to the Alternative Senior Class Gift, which will be split among four incredibly important New Haven organizations, rather than going into Yale's $30 billion endowment.

"Yale’s foundation rests upon Indigenous dispossession, the profits and direct use of slave labor and continues to operate at the cost of New Haveners. As Yale students, we are implicated in this history; we owe the city and its residents deep responsibility and accountability. Students have directly and indirectly benefited from the labor of community groups. New Haveners have also been both critical support and the impetus for issues of on-campus activism, such as the Calhoun College name change and the climate crisis."
Another fantastic op-ed from Professor Sabin calling for Yale to divest! We'll be meeting with David Swensen for the first time ever this Friday, so we need a strong showing of support to convince him to listen the overwhelming majority of students and faculty. Ask your professors to show their support by signing the faculty letter at bit.ly/yejcfaculty
"This disinformation campaign, funded significantly by fossil fuel companies and their executives and investors, has directly undercut Yale’s academic values and diminished the work of our faculty and students.
Making clear that the University stands in opposition to those who are perpetuating and exacerbating our climate crisis is a moral imperative."
