“You don’t represent everyone on campus”. Okay. Why don’t they encamp then? Or win 89% of the vote in a record-breaking referendum (in 2 days)? Or get thousands of signatures on petitions? We won’t compromise our ethics or our proposals for some imaginary opposition. DIVEST NOW.

In January, LSE’s investment advisor, Caroline Butler, stated that the ESG policy was about risk, not ethics. LSE council votes on divestment on June 25th. We must make *not* divesting more of a risk than doing so. That is our aim & what you can do to support us.

This UN OHCHR press release names JP Morgan, one of LSE’s two fund managers, explicitly. So does the student divestment proposal put to Council. If LSE cares about risk & law —let alone the university’s mission or, I don’t know, morality during a génocide—divestment is imperative
