Climate change is no longer solely an environmental crisis, it’s a humanitarian crisis and the moral imperative of our time. Princeton’s continual involvement and legitimization of the fossil fuel industry is in direct conflict with the university’s motto “Princeton in the nation’s service and the service of humanity”.

Princeton, having the largest per student endowment of any university in the US, has no excuse not to divest.

Without a shift to renewable, sustainable energy, climate change isn't going to stop. Fortunately, until real action is taken to end Princeton's ties to the fossil fuel industry and companies like Exxon Mobil, neither are we: the students, alumni, faculty and staff who will stop at nothing to get Princeton to divest from fossil fuels. Action is non-negotiable when it comes to climate change.

Princeton should divest from fossil fuels as an urgent first step towards climate justice.

If Princeton is truly committed to fostering equity and becoming an anti-racist institution, it must recognize the need to divest from fossil fuel industries. Princeton cannot claim to promote these initiatives without first recognizing the disproportionate devastating effects of climate change on BIPOC communities. There should be no debate; divestment is necessary for the future of our planet.

Princeton should divest from fossil fuels as an urgent first step towards climate justice.

I support divestment because a leading scientific institution such as Princeton has an obligation to abide by the solid scientific consensus around the terrible impact caused by fossil fuels. The continuing investment in fossil fuel companies while stating that investments are not political is scientific negationism, of the kind that is destroying millions of lives in the world today, and this cannot be the stance of a world-class research university.

I support Divestment because investment in fossil fuels is not a political statement but is instead a moral statement. It says that Princeton does not care about future generations & the lower income people all over this world who will have to deal with the immediate effects of climate change while the elite of the Ivy league will be sitting in their ivory tower. As a student & future Alumni of Princeton it disgusts me to know that my tuition is being used to fund the destruction of the planet

Activities from fossil fuel companies historically marginalize people of color and indigenous communities. As a university that advocates "in the nation's service and the service of humanity," Princeton ought to support underrepresented groups. Princeton relies on annual giving for donation funds, but in the same way, alums and students donate because we pride ourselves on the University's mission — including the desire to create a more climate-friendly world.

End Princeton's complicity in the climate crisis.

I came to Princeton because I believed in its motto. I thought Princeton stood to fight against ignorance and darkness and better the world. So long as Princeton's finances remain inextricably tied to fossil fuels, I consider myself wrong.

An ongoing relationship with corporations that are large polluters and climate change deniers, such as Exxon, sends the clear message that Princeton does not care about our planet. As one of the most prominent and esteemed universities, Princeton has the duty of operating with integrity - taking dirty money fails that goal.

Princeton’s investment in fossil fuels directly clashes with its core mission of serving our nation and humanity. It is a slap in the face for students here who truly want to create a cleaner, more environmentally conscious future.

To exist in the service of humanity while simultaneously partnering with corporations that exacerbate its downfall is simply paradoxical. We cannot exist as an institution working to better our planet while accepting or ignoring the organizations that actively work to hurt it.

Divestment sends a powerful message to the market, legislators and the public that it’s time for urgent action on climate.

I support divestment because conserving a healthy planet for the future depends on it. I support divestment because the fossil fuel industry is responsible for not only severe environmental degradation, but also pollution and destruction of indigenous lands as well as harm to indigenous people around the world. Princeton has a responsibility to discontinue its involvement in this legacy.

Climate action is dire and necessary.
