Divestment from fossil fuels... is a thing! Now more than ever, as Frances ("Franny") Carol Slater and Nicholas ("Nico") David Matthews, current students at the U of A and members of UAZ Divest, can attest. So what's up with the student-led push to make this happen? What are Franny, Nico, and others asking of the University of Arizona Foundation? Why do we sometimes forget that capitalism (and colonialism) are directly tied to the climate crisis? If you're looking for two young activists to set the tone and be the example for others, look no further. Tweet them at @uazdivest or take a look at their letter to the Foundation here. There are plenty of ways to get involved and carry this work forward elsewhere.
