Social Justice Investing – How to Do Well by Doing Good
Time: Fri 2:00PM
Venue: Library
Style: Workshop
Content Type: Jumpstart your social justice investments
Description: Our retirement accounts, our investment accounts, and even our rainy-day savings accounts can be a powerful extension of our values and connect us with communities who surround us. We can use our financial decisions to build an inclusive economy, bridge the racial wealth gap, combat climate change, defund private prisons, support LGBTQ+ friendly policies, and more. In this workshop, social justice investor Andrea Longton will walk you through the five main steps to create an investment portfolio that supports climate and social justice while delivering financial returns that meet our needs for expected and unexpected life events, drawing on others at WGF to share their own experiences in building out a social justice sleeve in their own retirement plans and financial portfolios.
Enter with a notebook and an open mind. Depart with a plan to transform everyday financial decisions into social justice commitments, whether you’re whether you’re starting with $100 or determined to make the thousands you’ve inherited or saved for retirement align with your values.
