Divest MTA is back!

Yesterday we undertook our first action of the year — a message to new Mount Allison President Jean-Paul Boudreau that we’re serious about fossil fuel divestment, a morally and financially viable shift that must come sooner rather than later.
During a celebration to welcome the new President at the Purdy Crawford Centre, ten members of Divest MTA dispersed among the crowd and chatted with a variety of Mount Allison administrative higher-ups, including members of the Board of Regents Finance Committee, about the ethical imperative of fossil fuel divestment. Hundreds of pamphlets and orange square patches were distributed and many great conversations were had.

Organizers finally approached Dr. Jean-Paul Boudreau with a copy of the IPCC intergovernmental climate report. Our message to him was short and simple: “Welcome! You could be the President that helps Mount Allison divest— this report emphasizes need for structural change, and we hope you will work with us to make this happen here at MTA. Let's meet soon to further discuss.”
Unfortunately it was extremely difficult to get this short message across as organizers were interrupted at almost every word.
The President begged us, quite literally, not to bring politics into his family and community celebration. We responded by saying that climate change is a priority of our community and it is important to us that in celebrating community we fight for its future. He agreed to meet with us soon.
Divest MTA organizers are not fazed and ready to fight the power in 2018-2019! if you oppose their ideology and goals.. join with Canada Action
