Often it is an article mentioning the wonderful work of someone who credits some of their inspiration and values to their time at the College. It is profoundly incredible that the College refuses to act, despite nurturing the very people who began this effort to address the greatest threat to the “common good” our species has ever faced. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/10/26/opinion/climate-change-divestment-fossil-fuels.htmlSwarthmore has truly lost its way and after decades of annual contributions to support the College I have refused to contribute for some years now. I doubt that this letter will do any good if nearly a decade of intense and comprehensive communication has not moved the College to walk in the Light. However, I write simply to stand up and bear witness to the truth that the College is encouraging the destruction of the world that is already causing and will continue to cause untold suffering.
