SUNDAY NIGHT ENVIRONMENTAL GROUP

Let your voice be heard! Join Divest Middlebury Friday afternoon for an open mic storytelling event in Mead Chapel where students, faculty, and community members will share why divestment matters. We will begin by writing personal letters about the impact of climate change (from 1-2pm). At 2pm we will hear from several student and community speakers. We will then open the mic to anyone who wishes to read their letter. The event will culminate in a march down to Old Chapel where we will deliver our message to the Board of Trustees as they decide how to act on our divestment ask.

Come join us for poster and art making to prepare for the March 15th climate strike.

This panel can answer all of your questions on Divestment at Middlebury College. With enlightening insight from Bill McKibben, environmental activist and Schumann Distinguished Scholar at Middlebury; Jeannie Bartlett, Middlebury alumna and former member of SNEG; Alyssa Lee, Campus Programs Manager at Better Future Project; and current Middlebury student and SNEG Co-Manager Gabe Desmond; the panel will provide plenty of information on Divestment at Middlebury and at large.
