Where you put your money can change the world. Whether you’re opening your first bank account or keeping track of your retirement investments, you can ensure your money works for both your future and healthier communities worldwide.
Our freedom to invest our retirement and college funds in companies that align with our values is under attack. Politicians and companies funded by Big Oil are running campaigns to obstruct our ability to find a company’s greenhouse gas emissions, support companies that prioritize diversity and equity, or bring and vote on shareholder resolutions.
Now more than ever, it’s critical that we use every tool available to protect people and the planet.
We often think of using our power as activists, community-builders, voters, and as green consumers, to make change in society. We don’t always think of our power as bank account holders and investors.
You might wonder, “Can my finances make a difference to struggling communities, corporate conduct, and the environment?” Yes, they can! Through Green America's Responsible Finance campaign, we will show you how.
Strategies to vote with your dollars can be used by anyone, no matter where you fall on the spectrum of wealth. Even if you have only $50 in the bank, it can be in an account that supports the world you want to live in as a Green American.
