Protest - No Fossil Stocks
On the Divestment Day of Action we protest against ETH’s investments in fossil fuels. Under the slogan “1% is still too much”, we call out ETH to take responsibility for how its stocks of money are invested, demanding for a full divestment action plan. Come join us on Friday 12th from 12 to 13 on the Polyterrasse. We need you to create a critical mass big enough to catch the attention of people passing by, and we need your pictures and social media posts to build a large mediatic pressure on ETH.

Talk - Challenging Violence
If we look at Switzerland from the animals’ perspective, things look bleak – at least for the vast majority, the 76.5 million animals per year who die in the country’s abattoirs. Why has the Swiss animal movement not been more successful in combating this normalized violence? And how could it do so in the future? That is the issue ethicist Nico Müller (University of Basel) addresses in his talk.
