Dear friends,

Attached is a petition to the president of U of T calling on the university to divest from Shell. It bears U of T Friends of Wisdom's (recently designed, and possibly temporary) logo as well as Toronto 350's logo. More groups' logos will likely be added as the petition gains partners. The online version of the petition's at http://act.350.org/sign/Fossil_Free_Toronto

350's currently working on creating a legal brief making a case that the Shell corporation has committed acts of "social injury" and therefore falls under entities which we can legally and rightfully request the university to divest its holdings from. If you have any documents or arguments that you think might be helpful in this context, that would be really great.

Warm regards,
Daniel Lewis
