Americans now have about $56 trillion in stocks, bonds, mutual funds, pension funds, and insurance funds—nearly all of it invested in global corporations. If they could shift even a small amount of that capital from Wall Street to Main Street, their local economies could flourish. This workshop is designed to help community leaders, personally and collectively, achieve this vision by developing practical local investment strategies.
This workshop aims to help participants answer three essential questions:
- How can I rebuild my community and its economy after the ravages of COVID-19?
- How can I make my community more resilient to prepare for future global crises that will come from new pandemics, climate disruption, and economic collapse?
- How can I move my money into the businesses, projects, and people I love—and out of the Wall Street casino?
