Greta Neubauer is the Director of the Divestment Student Network. She grew up in Wisconsin and began her political work knocking on doors with her deeply democratic family.

Victoria Fernandez is a Campaign Coach for the Divestment Student Network. A native Californian, she began organizing at UC Berkeley in the campus' fossil fuel divestment campaign.

Victoria enjoys rock climbing, tearing up reading books, and spending time with loved ones.

Erin Bridges is a Campaign Coach and supports students primarily in the southeastern United States. She was born and raised in Louisville, KY, and a passion for agriculture and social justice sent Erin to the Blue Ridge Mountains for college where she received a B.S. in Ecology from UNC-Asheville. Erin’s work has focused mostly on food and climate justice and she fiercely believes in the power of organizing in the south. She enjoys making pancakes, beating old men in golf, identifying tree species, and drinking fine wine that she can’t afford.

Allyson began organizing for divestment at Bowdoin College in Maine, where she helped lead Bowdoin Climate Action from 2014-2016. You can find Allyson on Twitter at @AllysonGross, mostly tweeting about One Direction.

P.D. Gantert is the Southwest Regional Organizer, and a recent graduate from the University of Colorado. Originally from rural Pennsylvania, he was first inspired by the Keystone KL pipeline fight, and joined the youth climate movement through the divestment campaign at his university. P.D. dreams of a simple life in rural parts of the southwest, and is learning the banjo in preparation to for such a move, but he #Can’tStopWon’tStop and is putting off an early retirement for a life in movement building.  

Cassidy Quillen is the Regional Organizer in North Carolina. She was born in Tallahassee, FL, and moved to the mountains of western NC when she was 11. As a child, she attended low-key anti-war protests in front of the Tallahassee capitol building after church. In Sylva, she focused her high school career on leading the marching band and being president of the ECO Club. Cassidy once believed that things like recycling would save the planet, but became much more radicalized as she began organizing for the fossil fuel divestment movement at Appalachian State University in 2014. People power! She enjoys playing old-time music on the fiddle, eating southern food, and skipping across the windy Boone mountains.

Silver Hannon is the California Regional Organizer for the Divestment Student Network. She is a graduate of UC Berkeley and helped lead the divestment campaign as a student. She works with organizers on campuses across the University of California system to strategically escalate and build support for divestment.
