No more studying as before in a time of multiple crises! We occupy the university and win it back as a space for utopias and real solidarity – because the earth is burning.

This fall, universities and schools around the world will be occupied under the name “End Fossil”. Under the name “Erde Brennt”, universities and schools in Vienna, Salzburg and Innsbruck will also be occupied in November in protest against the current numerous crises – the climate crisis, the energy crisis, inflation. Numerous students have already drawn attention to their protest with banners in front of university buildings throughout Austria.

Social crisis, climate crisis, energy crisis, inflation – when social injustices intensify but political measures fail to emerge, we students no longer want to keep watching! We can no longer sit quietly in our lectures while it burns and seethes outside – we don’t want to continue learning for a system that has no future!

We stand for a politics that takes the crises as such seriously. We stand for a university that lives up to its mission and is a space for sustainable solutions. It is no longer enough to stand by, let’s fundamentally change society!

“End Fossil: Occupy!” is an international call to action for students to occupy their schools and universities around the world. The common goal: to end the fossil fuel economic system on an international level! “We will disrupt normal everyday life in schools and universities because we can no longer pretend that normality is okay. It is our duty as young people to fight. After the many strikes, a next step,” says the call published on their website.
