This past Friday, May 2, was a national "Day of Action" to promote divestment from fossil fuels. People from around the country got involved by coming together to express their support for divestment at their universities and institutions. You can check out pictures from people who were part of the day's events from across the country here.
WWU's own students and community also participated in Red Square shortly before noon on Friday. Here is a picture I took of two of my favorite students, Western Libraries' lovely and wonderful GEF-grant-funded -small-project team members, Ella and Lidiya, at the event. (We are also in the crowd below, somewhere under a sea of orange squares).
