Friends of LittleSis,

For over a decade, LittleSis has helped build stronger student-led climate
justice movements by investigating the people and corporations profiting
off destructive industries. Our research has led to huge impacts – from
University of Buffalo [2] closing its biased, pro-fracking Shale Resources
and Society Institute in 2012, to Harvard calling for billionaire David
Rubenstein [3] of the Carlyle Group to resign from the board just this
year. As LittleSis’ new Senior Research Analyst here in the Climate
Program, I’m excited to join this long history.

One area I’m particularly proud of is our commitment to supporting fossil
fuel divestment campaigns on campus. This year, along with the Sunrise
Project, we researched the fossil fuel ties of board members at over 20
universities and colleges across the country – that’s over 600 board
members! We used this information to train student organizers on power
research techniques and released the CorpU Field Guide [4] to help them
identify fossil fuel industry presence at their schools. Stay tuned, as
we’ll be publishing findings from this study early next year!

WILL YOU HELP US FIGHT FOSSIL FUEL INFLUENCE ON CAMPUS? [5]

Research like this brings university contradictions into stark view,
helping campaigners cut through the greenwashing and develop more strategic
messaging and targets. Campus organizing is an important site of
resistance, challenging institutional leaders who are largely captured by
the interests of oil, gas and coal corporations.

With your contribution, we can sustain our partnership with these and other
groups building powerful movements to end extractive industries and
corporate control!

Onward,
