"ESG investing, the latest incarnation of socially-responsible investing, has gotten a bad rap, and at least half of it is deserved. But one fund is trying to be authentic to this thematic form of investing." Thank you @Forbes for sharing our story: https://t.co/vpJou3lSbC

Think about this: one fifth of ALL money invested in US oil, gas, and coal companies comes from our 401(k) savings. So we're supporting a virtual march to get Wall Street to give everyone climate-friendly options. Join us? https://t.co/0LkaatSfSM

[Sphere @oursphereorg]

99% of Americans invested in a 401(k) plan are forced to invest part of their life savings in oil and gas companies. Join us on Feb 6 in the first ever virtual march to get climate-friendly investment options in every 401(k).
