Divest Smith Rally

  • Smith College Northampton, MA (map)

This week the Trustees of Smith College will make a statement on whether they will divest the $100 million currently invested in the fossil fuel industry.

Divest Smith College invites students, five college groups, Extinction Rebellion Western Massachusetts, and community members across the Pioneer Valley to join them Friday, October 18th for a march and rally on the Smith campus calling for divestment from fossil fuels in recognition of the current state of climate emergency and the urgent need for action. Wear black and orange, bring signs! We’ll gather at the Campus Center at 11:45 and leave at noon for a march across campus to the rally.

A response from the Trustees is expected Friday evening – actions may continue into Saturday to celebrate or escalate in response to the Trustees’ decision!
