Fossil Free WSU
About the divestment
We are calling on Washington State University to act on climate change by divesting its endowment funds from the world's largest 200 publicly listed fossil fuel companies. Doing so will honor WSU's pledge as a charter signatory of the American College and University Presidents' Climate Commitment to "be a leader on climate and sustainability action for the sake of their students and society.
WSUS students are currently pursuing this path through the new sustainability task force.
Contact us to join this monumental action!
