Friend, We are coming back from our September pause rested, reinvigorated, and with some exciting news: UnKoch My Campus will become a campaign within the American Humanist Association. The emergence of anti-democratic and authoritarian movements combined with overlapping threats to our climate and democracy are a clear and present danger. The ‘urgency of now’ calls us to abandon anemic and individualistic strategies that have fed toxic polarization and fractured our communities. Becoming an initiative inside of the American Humanist Association will not change the goal or focus of UnKoch My Campus’ work. We will continue on as an intervention campaign addressing the impact of far-right billionaires leveraging their philanthropic donations in higher education to erode democracy and disrupt social and economic justice. But now, we will be able to expand our impact to address this harmful donor influence on our climate, institutions, and broader democracy. Click here to learn more about our new connections with the American Humanist Association! Stay tuned for more information to come, and in the meantime, make sure you’re signed up for our National Day of Action Prep Call on October 24th, so we can work together to exorcize Koch’s influence from campuses across the country. In Solidarity, The Team at UnKoch My Campus |

UnKoch My Campus is a project dedicated to disrupting corporate influence on campuses nationwide by equipping campus activists with education, skills, and ecosystems of solidarity. The Koch network is leveraging its donations to colleges and universities to bolster its corporate agenda to halt action on climate change, put hundreds of thousands of people in prison, deny millions of people healthcare, and strip rights and wages from workers globally. We're building a mass movement of young people who are dedicated to disrupting this harm. |
