This is part of ICA’s broader Fossil Free U campaign that’s working to get the university to cut ties from the fossil fuel industry. Back in September, ICA succeeded in getting the UW Board of Regents to divest from the fossil fuel industry. 2/

This Friday! Sept 23 #RiseUp for #ClimateJustice #PeopleNotProfit in #Seattle Over 90 cities worldwide have events this Friday for the Global Climate Strike. In Seattle please join us at 5pm at the Seattle Federal Building. More info and RSVP here: bit.ly/StopTheDirtyDeal
THIS FRIDAY --> #RiseUp for #ClimateJustice RSVP to Join this Friday's 5 pm demonstration at the Seattle Federal building to stop the dirty pipeline deal. --> bit.ly/StopTheDirtyDeal <-- This is one of 90+ youth-led climate strikes in the U.S. with many more happening globally. Big Oil & Senator Manchin want to fast-track toxic fossil fuel projects. If they get their way, they'll poison our communities, cook our planet, and rob us of bedrock environmental protections. The stakes are high so we need your help to rapidly mobilize people power! FYI - If we lose and Manch wins, one project alone, the Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP) would be permitted and once built would release the emissions equivalent of 26 coal-fired power plants.
