Penn Student Protesters Disrupt Football Game to Demand Fossil Fuel Divestment
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Philadelphia, at least 19 University of Pennsylvania students were
arrested after they stormed a football field and disrupted the school's
homecoming game to demand UPenn divest from fossil fuels. The group
Fossil Free Penn is also urging the university to pay property taxes to
support the funding of city public schools, and help save a low income
housing complex located near the university.
