Financial Activist Playbook for Supporting Black Lives

Because of the holiday weekend we'll be skipping our gathering on September 5th but reconvening on Saturday, September 19th to speak with Jasmine Rashid, author of the Financial Activist Playbook for Supporting Black LIves.

Jasmine Rashid is the Director of Advocacy & Strategic Partnerships at Candide Group — a Registered Investment Advisor directing capital away from an extractive global economy towards investments dedicated to justice and sustainability. Over the past year, she has co-led Real Money Moves, an educational, 501©3 financial activist initiative, helping social movements & organizations understand and leverage “the money story behind the story” in their fights for justice. New York-raised and Oakland-based, Jasmine has been organizing with the #FamiliesBelongTogether coalition to shift bank major financing out of the private prison & for-profit immigrant detention industry — and back into communities through impact investing. She is also a Congressman John Lewis Humanity in Action fellow, Swarthmore College graduate, and proud pitbull mom.
