Columbia Divest for Climate Justice, formerly known as Barnard Columbia Divest, is a student activist group that wants Columbia to divest from fossil fuels in their investments. They were active in the 2014 People's Climate March, protested Giving Day[1], and were granted a meeting with PrezBo after protesting his Fun Run.[2]
Although the group has petitioned ACSRI,[3] results have yet to be seen, as of April 2015.[4]
Between June 14 and June 22, 2016, members of CDCJ occupied Low Library to push Columbia to divest from fossil fuel stocks. Though the sit-in started with 14 students, only six remained in Low at the end of the protest. The six students were known as the Infamous Six.
