Environmental Justice and Divestment Week of Action - Week 8!
Hosted by Fossil Free UCLA!
Fossil Free UCLA is a student campaign run through E3: Ecology,
Economy, Equity that is working alongside campuses nationwide to rally
our university Board of Trustees to divest their endowment funds from
all fossil fuel "dirty energy" holdings. We are hosting a week of
programming at UCLA all devoted to increasing awareness and education
around climate change, its impact on our communities, and how
divestment can change the story! More info about us here!

Fuel Industry! Documentary Screening
Date: Monday, November 18, 2013
Time: 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM

Students & Goliath: How the Youth Took on the Fossil Fuel Industry! is
the story of a generation waking up, becoming empowered, and taking
the climate crisis into their own hands. The world faces accelerated
climate catastrophe. If the fossil fuel industry has the most to gain
- the youth have the most to lose. But as the fossil fuel industry
profits, students nationwide are taking on the fossil fuel industry
head on. Based in Amherst, Massachusetts, Students & Goliath follows
the divestment campaigns of five schools.
The event is FREE and open to the public and will have FREE
REFRESHMENTS for all attendees. We will also be holding a short
