Jody Freeman Leaves Conoco Board after Protests from XR Boston & Climate Defiance
Freeman originally denied accusations and maintained she was within Harvard’s conflict-of-interests policies.
In April, The Bureau of Investigative Journalism and The Guardian revealed that Jody Freeman had lobbied on behalf of ConocoPhillips, and was receiving more than $350,000 a year as a board member.
On Thursday, Freeman said in a statement that she had left the position at ConocoPhillips “to focus on my research at Harvard and make space for some new opportunities”.
She added: “I learned a lot from my decade-long board service, think I made a positive difference, and am glad I did it.” Freeman received more than $3m from the company during her time on the board.”

Climate Defiance
We DO NOT do petitions.
We put our bodies on the line
If people in power will not save us we will save ourselves
There is no choice, we need consistent, mass-turnout, nonviolent disruption to stop business as usual and compel politicians to act
Wherever you are, rise up and join the youth standing up FACE TO FACE with the climate criminals signing our lives away
