The coal industry is bankrupt and the fracking industry is a house of cards built on bad loans that are starting to go belly up. With a rampant public health crisis on our hands in COVID-19 and the fossil fuel industry in terminal decline, now is the time for banks, insurance companies, and asset managers to change their loan and investment policies.

This webinar explores:

• • How a basic understanding of the pillars of financial capitalism can set up your finance campaign for success.
  • How to use a rights-based framework that respects people in finance campaigning
  • What strategies and tactics are most effective — particularly campaigns for divestment, shareholder engagement, and campaigns for government regulation.
  • How campaigns that center and amplify frontline voices in grassroots action isn’t just strategic but absolutely necessary.
