750 Students (including 268 Seniors - 15% of the Class of 2016) ​Have Pledged to Withhold Donations Until Stanford 
​Divests From Fossil Fuels​.

Join them by signing below.

​​​The Class of 2016 founded the Fossil Free Stanford campaign as freshmen, and have for the duration of our Stanford careers called on the Board of Trustees divest Stanford's endowment from the fossil fuel industry. We have united the Stanford community around a belief that profiting from fossil fuel companies is morally wrong. The fossil fuel industry is only a good investment if you bet on the destruction of our collective planet—and that's not the kind of future we want Stanford invested in.

Every year, Stanford asks graduating seniors to give a Senior Gift as a demonstration of their support for the university's governance. But this year, members of the Class of 2016 are pledging to withhold our Senior Gift and future donations until Stanford divests from the fossil fuel industry. We refuse to give our money to a university that invests its money in climate chaos and environmental injustice.

We hope you'll join us. Sign the pledge to withhold your donations until Stanford divests the rest!

Are you a current student, but not a Senior yet? You will be! We encourage all students to sign the pledge. This movement is not going away.

If you've already graduated from Stanford, please sign the alumni pledge: http://alumni.fossilfreestanford.org We are glad for all members of the Stanford community to show their support as well!
