Invest for Change

Universities are hugely wealthy and influential institutions, with a mission to advance knowledge and create a better future for all. Yet they remain entangled in a financial system that drives climate breakdown, deepens inequality, and upholds systems of oppression. 

Right now, many universities hand over their investment decisions to external managers, with little oversight or input from students or staff. This means billions are invested in ways that run directly against the values of the university community and against the interests of the world students will graduate into. 

But this can change – and you can drive that change. 

We’re calling on universities to Invest for Change – to move their money into solutions that deliver environmental and social justice, and to use their influence to push for a fairer, more sustainable financial system. 

We need you to get involved to make this happen, on your campus and across the country.
