Dear __________,
I wanted to let you know that I just signed an open letter to President Eisgruber urging Princeton to divest the $700 million it still has invested in private fossil fuel companies, which are amongst the worst emitters. Princeton also still accepts research funding from the oil and gas industry which is damaging its academic integrity.
I invite you to visit the Divest Princeton website and consider signing the letter to Pres. Eisgruber. The university cares about what alumni think so this is a small way we can each have a voice in slowing global warming.
Many thanks for considering this!
Best,
__________

Dear President Eisgruber,
My name is __________. I am a member of the Class of __________ / a parent of a student / a Princeton faculty member / a Princeton staff member concerned about the state of our current climate crisis.
I write in support of Divest Princeton, a coalition of concerned students, alumni, parents, faculty, and staff who have urged Princeton to divest and dissociate from the world's most harmful fossil fuel companies.
Although Princeton has taken steps to combat climate change, it must fully divest the &700 million it still has invested in private fossil fuel companies and make energy research independent from fossil fuel interested by dissociating from oil and gas companies.
The future of Princeton's reputation—to say nothing of our planet—depends on it.
Thank you,
