Divest McGill Questions!

Hi Austin,
During the debates, you mentioned that you would lobby for McGill to divest from fossil fuels because it's part of SSMU's mandate. Could you perhaps elaborate on that? Specifically, what actions do you intend to take in lobbying McGill through the decision-making bodies that the President sits on, as well as how you plan to promote the work that we (Divest McGill) have been doing for the last year to help increase public awareness and support for the cause, while also working directly with CAMSR to improve the process regarding ethical investing concerns?
Thanks in advance, looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

As President, I would support Divest McGill by promoting SSMU’s Policy Regarding Five Year Ethical Investment Plan. By promoting this plan and supporting Divest McGill my hope is that it will put pressure on McGill to initiate a similar divestment. Also I would keep Divest McGill updated on the non-confidential and relevant happenings at the Board of Governors to help facilitate your work. Also, if there are action items that you expect or would like the next president to take I would love to hear them, either here or in person!
