“This hypocrisy is unsustainable. After four years of student protests here at uOttawa, we have won our fight to kick RBC off our campus; which university branch is next?”
-Sophia Andrew-Joiner, uOttawa student
“While we students spend thousands studying to prepare for our futures, our universities allow the big banks who finance climate devastation to operate on campus.”
-Sophia Andrew-Joiner, uOttawa student

Help us demand transparency & accountability from the SUO by sending an email to kick #banksoffcampus.

Oil subsidies won’t fix our skyrocketing grocery bills.
They won’t lower rent.
So why is the government pouring billions into a dying fossil fuel industry?
We need to know: Where do our MPs stand? With everyday people, or with Big Oil?
