Double *double* victory! 😮😮 Bradford and Bath Spa universities decide to cut recruitment ties with the fossil fuel industry AND divest from the border industry! That's TWO People & Planet campaign victories at BOTH universities! 🔥🔥 Share the news! 🙌

Eight prisoners alleged to have taken direct action in solidarity with Palestine are on hunger strike in protest over repressive conditions they face in detention. ❌ They face years behind bars without trial. ❌ Their health is deteriorating rapidly. The government must urgently intervene. ✊🇵🇸

💪 HUGE victory for the Divest Borders campaign! This year, 7 more UK universities committed to divesting from the border industry - that's corporations profiting from the surveillance, persecution and abuse of migrants. Share the news! The tide's turning! 🌊

18 UK universities now exclude oil, gas and mining companies from their careers and recruitment activities, according to the charity People & Planet www.thecanary.co/uk/news/2025... @thecanaryuk.bsky.social @peopleandplanet.bsky.social

18 higher education institutions, or 12% of UK universities now refuse to advertise roles with fossil fuel companies to their students! 🧪

Delighted that Bath Spa has been ranked second most ethical and sustainable university in the UK. Congratulations to all the colleagues and students who worked towards this!

Student campaigners made this happen! 🎉 This year, the rising tide of Fossil Free Careers campaigns secured commitments from 8 universities to stop platforming some of the most deadly and destructive industries on the planet. This is what student power looks like! 💪

I know we are all sceptical of university league tables, but this is the one that matters. @manmetuni.bsky.social is greenest university in Britain AGAIN. Come and join us, and marvel at our water-recycling and energy-efficiency systems!

Congratulations to @uniofgreenwich.bsky.social for moving up 10 places to 7th in the @peopleandplanet.bsky.social university league tables. But seems we still have some work to do on screening out recruitment links to fossil fuel, arms and tobacco firms. peopleandplanet.org/university-l...

Congratulations to @manmetuni.bsky.social! 🎉 1st again in the University League - our ranking of UK universities on ethics and sustainability! More and more students are expecting their universities to step up as real leaders of positive change. And some are rising to the challenge! 👇

🔥 HUGE!!! 8 more universities have committed to cutting recruitment ties with the fossil fuel industry this year! That means no more big coal, oil and gas firms invited to advertise at careers fairs or on university job sites! Student campaigns made this happen! And we're just getting started! ✊

📣 The 2025/6 University League is here! We ranked 147 UK universities against ethics and sustainability criteria. 📈 🔍 Find out how your university scored! 👇 peopleandplanet.org/university-l...

Top of the 2.1s for my place, which funnily enough is where I often was as a student

Our first post on BlueSky! And what a way to start by announcing that we have climbed 10 places from 17th to 7th in the annual @peopleandplanet.bsky.social University League. As well as this, we have come joint first in the carbon reduction category. Read more here: www.gre.ac.uk/articles/pub...

Well done @manmetuni.bsky.social for taking 1st place due to sustainable practice, divestment from fossil fuel and border industries, and banning of fossil free recruiters.Glad to see one of my unis @lsepress.bsky.social make the top 20, sadly the other @york.ac.uk has a long way to go from 79th.

🚨 BREAKING! Our latest University League research - published today - finds 8 more UK universities have banned fossil fuel and mining companies from advertising jobs and careers on campus! ❌💼🛢️⛏️ THIS shows the power of student campaigns! ✊✊

📣 This year's People & Planet University League drops tomorrow! 👀 Stay tuned to find out how your university scored...

Shabana Mahmood promises ‘the most significant changes to our asylum system in modern times’ - yes and in all the wrong ways. ❌ Demonising and stripping migrants of their basic rights is no way to solve the real issues people face in the UK. These are cruel, criminal plans. They must be resisted.

After 18 months of pressure, WE DID IT!! 🔥🔥

🔥 Today, Cambridge University students rallied for Fossil Free Careers! They're calling on the university to ban, refuse and exclude oil, gas, mining and arms firms from advertising careers on campus! Will the university listen up?

Want to uncover the institutional links between the your university and the fossil fuel industry? Our friends at @solid-research.bsky.social are running practical workshops on how to do just this at a range of UK universities next week! 👇

Climate disasters are not an accident. Hurricane Melissa is a result of political choices and a fossil fuel industry bent on putting profit before people and planet. Small Island Nations are being failed by the world's polluters. They must be heard. 👇

HUGE win as Edge Hill Uni commits to #DivestBorders AND #FossilFree 🥳 🎉 This is further recognition that @peopleandplanet.bsky.social campaigns work Migrant justice = climate justice. We demand our unis stand for both! Surely next on the victory list is @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social? 👀

✊ This is what student power looks like! Students just forced Edge Hill University to take a stand against some of the world’s most destructive corporations - massive oil, coal and gas companies + companies profiting from the detention, deportation and misery of migrants. Share the huge news!

Oh yes, they look very intimidating... ( #sarcasm, in case that wasn't clear :) ) #CorporateInterests

👎 Shameful behaviour from Bath University! Solidarity to students who took action to shine a light on major fossil fuel, mining and arms corporations at their careers fair!

🔍 Our new research with @ldnminingnetwork.bsky.social shines light on the dirtiest mining companies. ❌ Dispossessing people of their land ❌ Polluting land + rivers ❌ Causing deadly disasters ❌ Association w/ militarisation, conflict + human rights abuses londonminingnetwork.org/2025/10/tran...

Spying on students for arms companies. It's despicable. UK universities need to ask themselves who they really serve and protect - war profiteers and genocide enablers, or their students fighting for peace?

Absolutely disgusting. ❌A British Ice to brutally enforce a hostile environment ❌ Tripling stop and search to intimidate ❌ Leave the European Court of Human Rights to remove rights and civil liberties The agenda is clear: Sow hate and division.

✨ BIG NEWS! We're opening submissions for our next social justice campaign! ✊ Every six years, the People & Planet student network chooses its next social justice campaign - and the decision starts now. Submit your idea: peopleandplanet.org/about/campai...

It's simple. 👇

❌ Digital ID cards will do nothing but generate profits for tech giants at the expense of migrant rights and everyday freedoms.

This is nothing but despicable. Refugee family reunion was one of the only glimmers of light in the UK's dark hostile environment. To stop this avenue of migration is one of the cruellest forms of border violence you could enact.

This October, fossil fuel companies will be attending university careers fairs across the UK... And we're building a movement to stop them! ✊ Join our online organising call at 5pm on 11 Sept to take part in the Fossil Free Careers Month of Action: peopleandplanet.org/fossil-free-...

❌ Another record-breaking year of scorching temperatures driven by the fossil fuel industry. ❌ Meanwhile UK universities invest in and invite big oil and gas companies to recruit at their careers fairs They're complicit and we're calling it out. 🚨

Students in Uganda are fighting construction of the world's longest heated oil pipeline - EACOP. They are heroes for doing so but are being met with extreme force and violence. Alex faces huge medical bills as a result. Please consider supporting him: gofund.me/f11601c4

🔥 MASSIVE MILESTONE!!! 22 students' unions, representing 500,000+ students have backed Fossil Free Careers! This means: ❌ Banning oil, gas and mining companies from attending student union careers fairs and events ✊ Pushing the university to do the same!

❌ Right now, the UK Government is pushing to designate @palaction.bsky.social a "terrorist" group. We condemn this action in the strongest possible terms. We are all Palestine Action. ✊🇵🇸 🧵...

🎉 VICTORY!!! Lancaster SU backs the Fossil Free Careers campaign and boycotts oil, gas and mining companies! ✊ 📣 Students are now calling on the university careers department to commit to an Ethical Careers Policy! ✍️ Sign the petition to add your voice to their demands! tinyurl.com/3p544kd6

This is a shameful and appalling crack down on the fundamental right to protest! We must resist. We must protest. Free Palestine! 🇵🇸✊

🌊 The ocean absorbs about 1/3 of the CO2 we pump out. That CO₂ is turning the seas acidic. ⚠️ The fossil fuel industry is driving this. How many more planetary boundaries do we cross until it's stopped?

This is the 12th UK university to to ban fossil fuel companies from recruitment fairs!! ✊✊

This is important‼️👇 How UK university ties with the arms trade have informed their clampdown on pro-Palestine student protests - via @newint.bsky.social

🎉🎉 WE DID IT!!! Roehampton is the latest university to back Fossil Free Careers!! ✊ Read all about it! ⬇️ morningstaronline.co.uk/article/roeh...

✊ VICTORY! The University of Roehampton excludes fossil fuel, mining and arms industry recruitment! 🙌 They become the 12th university to commit to Fossil Free Careers. 📈 The demand for ethical careers is growing - could your university be next?!

Thank you @dralberro.bsky.social for organising a very stimulating workshop on transformative sustainability education, research & advocacy. I particularly enjoyed this afternoons talks by @peopleandplanet.bsky.social, @ckweatherill.bsky.social and Carl Death

🚨 BREAKING!!! 🚨 Solidarity with students erecting a new encampment at Oxford University in solidarity with Palestine! ✊🇵🇸 They're calling for the university to disclose, divest and cut ties with companies complicit in genocide and the occupation of Palestine!
