April 1-5 was our first Endowment Week of Action. We're taking action every day, during our Week of Action campuses across the country decided to up the ante!
As youth we've created a mass movement of young people demanding control of capital - and our own future. Check out highlights below:
University of Washington | Move Our Money
University of Washington student Monica Mendoza Castrejon created this image for the Move Our Money campaign. Click here for more artwork from Monica.
UC Berkeley | Move Our Money
A multicultural group of 70 student organizers reenacted a prison chain gang, tying themselves together by the ankle and marching onto UC Berkeley's Sproul Plaza to demand that the university divest from the Prison Industrial Complex. As a result of the pressure from the action, as well as a massive multicultural community presence at the student senate meeting, UC Berkeley's student senate voted to divest all of their funds from the Prison Industrial Complex, and to demand that the University do the same.
