🚨🚨🚨ACTION ALERT: Speak to the Regents: Submit Public Comment to call on the UC to be fossil-free!

See slides below for more information on how to submit comments as well as what you can say.

.What power do the Regents have?

The UC Board of Regents establishes all major UC-wide policies and initiatives, such as: the cost of attendance, campus admissions, environmental policy, UC employee compensation, land management, and they perform long-range planning for all UC campuses and locations. In other words: consider them the highest legislative body of the UC — meaning: they have the power to enact policies (like a UC Green New Deal) that would fast track the UC to becoming fossil-free within the decade and ensure a just and equitable transition.

What can we do?

NOW, despite the Regents being unelected and relatively unaccountable to the people of the UC they’re supposed to serve, they DO have bi-monthly meetings that are open to the public for comment. This provides us the opportunity to make our voices heard and push for UC-wide electrification among other climate initiatives within our 70-page UC GND policy platform. We are presenting this mega-list of policies to the UC as a BUFFET of climate solutions that are at their disposal to enact. The solutions exist, what is lacking is the political will to implement them. Join us Nov 16-17 and let's leverage our voices for change!✊✊✊

Prof Adam Aron, @swaziadam, represented our org at the San Diego City Council today ...
"Hundreds of students will be watching ..." whether the City actually implements its impressive Climate Action Plan, such as a 50% cut in building emissions by 2030, or just talks about it ... https://t.co/UqlYrGrCxf

Will the University of California start requiring conflict of interest declarations at a minimum for fossil-financed research? Will it go even further and dissociate from fossil-finance partnerships altogether?

BREAKING: New study in Nature Climate Change shows that academic research funded by fossil fuel companies is biased.

Biased against renewables and toward promotion of fossil gas.

Given Big Carbon's big money in academia, this should raise alarm bells.
