Student activists at two University of Colombia (UBC) campuses have decided upon one of the most extreme forms of non-violent protest - a hunger strike. It wasn't a brash decision by any means, and it is by far the first tactic they've deployed. In this episode, they detail just how they got to this point of escalation in their efforts to have their University divest from weapons manufacturers. They also provide details on how they prepared for this act of defiance, how they're taking care of one another during it and what it will take to end their hunger strike. Other great takeaways are the many ways these folks utilize their campuses to build community and create space for more folks to step up into the fight. There's also a lesson in leaning on those who came before you, to both better inform your plans and support you through the act.

Invest in Women Before We Divest from You. International Women's Day often comes with a wave of marketing campaigns, but what about real action? This episode unpacks the call to invest in women—or risk losing their support. We explore the ways businesses, governments, and society at large are failing to create true equity and what needs to change. Topics include:The gap between corporate marketing and real gender equity initiativesStark statistics on the gender pay gap, leadership representation, and economic disparityThe political landscape: How new policies like the SAVE-E Act threaten women's rightsThe mental load—the invisible labor that holds women back in the workplace and beyondHow women in leadership can shift from asking for equality to demanding itThis is more than a discussion—it's a call to action. Join us as we break down the realities, challenges, and the steps we all need to take to build a future where women don't just participate—they lead.What You'll Learn in This Episode:How performative activism in business is hurting progress toward gender equalityWhy the mental load disproportionately impacts women's career advancementThe political shifts that could roll back decades of progress on women's rightsHow to support women in leadership—whether you're in a position of power or notActionable ways to advocate for gender equity in the workplace and beyondKey Takeaways:Marketing campaigns aren't enough. Businesses need to make tangible investments in pay equity, leadership, and workplace policies.Gender disparities persist. Only 8% of S&P 500 CEOs are women, and full gender equality in legal protections could take 286 years at the current rate.Political shifts matter. Policies like the SAVE-E Act and DEI funding cuts could impact women's rights, voter access, and economic participation.The mental load is real. Women bear disproportionate invisible labor, limiting their ability to advance professionally.Change requires action. From supporting women-led businesses to mentoring and policy advocacy, everyone has a role to play.Subscribe to our podcast for critical conversations on gender equity, leadership, and business transformation.

Olympio Metals Ltd has signed an Option Agreement with Clutch Group Pty Ltd for the sale of its remaining three Halls Creek tenements in Western Australia. This transaction allows Olympio to focus on its upcoming drilling program at the Dufay copper and gold project in Canada. Under the agreement, Clutch must meet minimum exploration expenditure commitments on exploration licences E80/5034, E80/5154, and E80/5220 during a due diligence period lasting until June 30, 2025. Clutch has paid an upfront exclusivity fee of $25,000 and must spend a total of $80,000 on exploration. If Clutch exercises the option, it will pay Olympio $100,000 for E80/5034, $30,000 for E80/5154, and $20,000 for E80/5220. Payments may be adjusted if any tenements are surrendered or expire during the due diligence period. Olympio retains a future interest through two performance-based payments of $100,000 each—one upon defining a Measured JORC Mineral Resource of at least 50,000 ounces of gold at a minimum grade of 1.0 g/t gold, and another upon a Decision to Mine. Olympio has stated that the Halls Creek tenements are considered non-core as it prioritises drilling at the Dufay Project, which is set to begin shortly. #OlympioMetals #Mining #GoldExploration #CopperExploration #DufayProject #HallsCreek #WesternAustralia #CanadaMining #ExplorationAgreement #MiningInvestment #Drilling #JORC #MineralResources #MiningAustralia #MiningCanada #GoldMining #CopperMining #ResourceExploration #Geology #MiningNews #MineralExploration

Palestinian rights groups will protest against the support by Governor Hochul and NYS Comptroller DiNapoli of Israel in the ongoing attacks in the occupied territories.

BrownTown shares space with Amoona, Chicago-based Palestinian student organizer, to further the conversation on Palestinian liberation, focusing on the student encampment movement in spring 2024 and how institutions have responded since. After 140+ college campuses put on demonstrations for Gaza solidarity, the war machine drudges on with the help of school administrators and other institutions suspending, evicting, and even firing students, professors, and employees over their support for Palestine and stance against genocide. As the student intifada slows during this time, what does the interconnected and transnational struggle for collective liberation look like going into 2025? Here's their take. Originally recorded December 9, 2024. GUESTSAmoona is a Palestinian student organizer currently living and working in Chicago who is also very connected with abolitionist work across the state of Illinois.

We're closing out the year with an episode from our friends at Making Contact: As graduation approached this year, students around the country began protests after calls for divestment from Israel were initially ignored by university leadership. The campus encampments were met with physical violence and the mainstream press dismissed the students' demands as naive and immature. But, it turns out that there's a lot we should be asking about college endowments. We take a look at what an endowment is and how they're invested. Then we learn why transparency around the endowment (and divestment!) might actually benefit the entire college community. We talk to Kelly Grotke, a financial researcher from Pattern Recognition, a research collective focused on financialized higher education. And, with Andrea Pritchett, we look at the links between the encampments today, and those from the 80s, when students protested South African Apartheid.

Today on Speaking Out of Place, we talk with Maya Wind about her book, Towers of Ivory and Steel, How Israeli Universities Deny Palestinian Freedom, published by Verso.  Through meticulous research into the archives of Israeli universities and hundreds of other documents, Wind furnishes proof of just how deeply and completely Israeli universities are essential actors in Israel's efforts to suppress Palestinian freedom. We originally taped this show in June 2023, as Maya came off a long book tour in Europe.  We decided to wait into the beginning of this new academic year to release this episode.  Since then, of course, we have seen that US universities have spent the summer creating new draconian measures to curtail and make illegal protests against Israel's war on Palestine, which has now increased in violence and volume not only in the West Bank, but now also spread into Lebanon, killing civilians with impunity.  Whereas the United Nations General Assembly has voted overwhelmingly to censure Israel, the US remains committed to feeding the Israeli war machine no matter what. This makes today's show even more urgent.Shining a bright light on Israeli universities complicity in Israel's ethnic cleansing of its Palestinian population, the book is an indispensable resource in the fight to boycott Israeli universities and divest from firms doing business with Israel.

In this episode of the ESG Insider podcast we hear from the world's largest asset owner, Norges Bank Investment Management (NBIM).    NBIM is Norway's $1.7 trillion-dollar sovereign wealth fund and owns almost 1.5% of all shares in the world's listed companies. To understand how NBIM is exerting that influence, we speak to Chief Governance and Compliance Officer Carine Smith Ihenacho.  Carine explains how NBIM is approaching engagement and divestment. She tells us about the climate action plan she helped design and implement. And she explains why NBIM is leaning into its responsible investing ethos amid the ESG backlash occurring in some parts of the world.  “For us, ESG is not about politics,” she says. "We look at it from an investor perspective and from a long-term value creation perspective. For us, it's really about risk and opportunities.”  S&P Global Sustainable1 is hosting a co-located event at The Nest Climate Campus on Sept. 25.

This Day in Maine for Thursday, September 5, 2024.

Breene Murphy is the president of Carbon Collective, a climate investment advisor. They create low-fee investment portfolios for employer 401k plans and individuals that divest from fossil fuels and reinvest in climate solutions. They have launched two Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs): a climate solutions equity ETF (ticker: CCSO), and a green bond fund (ticker: CCSB).. Carbon Collective is an implementation partner of Project Drawdown, and a member of Rewiring America's CEOs for Electrification coalition. If you are responsible for your company's 401K plans, look to Carbon Collective's ETFs as a sustainable option to offer employees. In this episode, we discuss: ●     What an ETF is, and why Carbon Collective needed to create their own ●     How an investment portfolio is made ●     Why it's important to invest more funds into climate solutions companies Key Takeaways: ●     Investing: Simplify the Complex. Investing can feel like trying to decipher a foreign language. You're either lost in the weeds or barely skimming the surface. Here's my straightforward advice: First, if you're in the USA, start investing in your 401K as early as possible, and always contribute at least the maximum amount that your company matches. There is no fallback social system to rely on in retirement. Second, remember that your investments are your bets on the future. When you put your money into a company, you're saying, "I want this company to be part of tomorrow's world." So, invest with intention. Make sure your financial choices align with the future you want to live in. ●     Expanding Investment Choices. For markets to genuinely reflect individual choices, people need a full spectrum of options. Carbon Collective stepped in to fill a significant gap by creating new ETFs and 401K portfolios that exclude fossil fuel companies—something that was missing in the market. Considering that 401Ks are the primary retirement-saving vehicle for Americans, having no option to align those investments with personal values means the market can't truly reflect individual preferences. It's like having a dessert bar that only offers ice cream and then assuming everyone's favorite dessert is ice cream. True choice requires diverse options. ●     Helping: The Antidote to Helplessness. Before we started recording, Breene shared his eye-opening experience of joining the workforce and realizing that most adults are just figuring it out as they go, struggling along the way. This shattered the illusion that adults “have it figured out”. He talked about the impact helping those around him had on his career. It reminded me of the phrase "helping is the antidote to helplessness". No matter what, every life journey will have spots that feel helpless. This phrase is a nice reminder. Helpful acts not only lift others up but also pull us out of our own helpless ruts, reminding us that we have the power to make a difference.
