Op-Ed: On Fossil Fuels, Trustees Can’t Be Trusted
The last semester of Fossil Free AU’s campaign drew immense power from students telling their stories of the climate crisis. These deeply personal stories--of oil disaster in Mississipi, of rising seas in Florida, of fracked communities in Pennsylvania--rooted us in our fight for climate justice. Though these narratives remind us why we must push our institutions to divest from the fossil fuel industry, understanding individual stories will never be enough if we want to take meaningful action in response to the climate crisis.
