On dozens of campuses across the country yesterday, students Marched Forth on March 4th with marches and rallies demanding our universities divest now!

Flaunting the orange square, we showed our growing power with escalated pressure on our university presidents and boards.   We proclaimed "Divestment is a Tactic; Justice is the Goal" and connected our movement with the larger struggle for economic and climate justice. 

Yesterday, we showed how our national momentum from February's Power Up! Student Convergence can translate to taking action on our campuses in solidarity with one another.  Together, we are unstoppable!
