What an incredible surprise, during our motion at the YFS AGM, a total stranger moved to amend our request for $5000 up to $8000, and there was a near-unanimous vote in favour by a room… instagram.com/p/BqyKQw_BlXU/…

When alumni are asked to donate to #YorkU, we know many of them refuse until @yorkuniversity divests from weapons. We know this from alumni who tell us that the university called them, and even from students who work at the call centre. #YorkU

How do we expect the Canadian gov’t to end its arms sales to Saudi Arabia if our own colleges and universities are still investing in them? #YUDivest #YorkU – at Toronto, Ontario

Three days left until our rally for weapons divestment! Momentum keeps building up, as earlier this year even @yorkuniversity's own advisory committee on responsible investment endorsed our campaign's demands ✊🏻 Join us on November 27th to tell #YorkU to divest!

Four days left until our rally for weapons divestment! @yorkuniversity's investments in arms companies help in fueling various wars around the globe, one of them being the Saudi-led war on #Yemen. #YUDivest #YorkU

AI has developed a "Click to Call" tool, allowing you to easily call @JustinTrudeau to tell him that it has been 10 months and we are still awaiting an Ombudsperson to investigate #humanrights abuses abroad involving #Canadian companies. Try it out today: bit.ly/2FB8TxZ
