REInvestment reps travel to Ohio conference

THE GREEN BEAT Joelyn Sawyer guest writer 

Three Earlham students travelled to a student environmental conference in Athens, Ohio, last Sunday to lead a workshop about coal divestment on campuses. 

The students are members of the group leading the Responsible Energy Investment (REInvestment) campaign here at Earlham. 

At the conference, junior Adam Moskowitz and sophomores Jocelyn Sawyer and Quina Weber-Shirk had the chance not only to share the REInvestment story, but also to make connections with student activists at other colleges. 

The REInvestment campaign is advocating for Earlham to withdraw the direct holdings in its endowment from the twelve coal-mining and coal-burning companies in which it is currently invested. 

The rationale is that the extraction and burning of coal is harmful to the environment, communities, and human health; thus, investing in coal is a violation of Earlham’s guiding Principles and Practices. 

REInvestment started last semester when members of the Earlham Environmental Action Coalition were approached by the Energy Action Coalition (EAC), a national environmental organization, about starting a divestment campaign. 

Earlham was one of the first colleges in the country to start such a campaign; however, in the last year the number of campaigns has grown, and there are now student groups at well over a dozen colleges and universities working to “green” their schools’ endowments. 

The conference in Athens was the annual retreat of the Ohio Student Environmental Coalition (OSEC), and many students in attendance were either working on or interested in starting divestment campaigns at their schools. Like REInvestment, OSEC is guided by the EAC but is entirely student-run at the ground level. 

When the EAC was unable to send a representative to OSEC, they asked if anyone from REInvestment would be willing to go to instead, both to represent the national dirty energy divestment movement and to share the story of the Earlham campaign thus far. 

An additional perk of the conference was meeting student activists from colleges and universities across Ohio, and a portion of the conference was devoted to discussing solidarity actions that campaigns could take to support student campaigns and actions on other campuses. 

Unlike Ohio, Indiana does not have an active, cross-campus, student environmental network. For Quina, witnessing the networking capabilities of OSEC in action was the most powerful part of the trip. 

“They have the capacity to reach out to each other and have so much cross-campus communication and solidarity,” she reported. 

“Being there and catching their energy about the issues they’ve been working on was energizing for us, and opened our eyes to the kind of activism happening just across the state border.”
