ACTION AREA 4: FINANCES

1. Queries: to support Friends engaging with the importance of FINANCES in addressing racism.

Please suggest queries to support Friends’ finances in addressing racism:

The climate witness playbook asks:

What are the choices you can make about how you spend or invest money that would support renewable energy and build local communities and economies?
Do your investments support fossil fuels?
Does your bank or credit finance fossil fuel exploration or extraction projects?

2. Resources for FINANCES:

Please recommend resources, ideas, and possibilities for Friends to draw on in each of these categories of FINANCES:

Category 1: Investments (example: Use the As You Sow website)

Category 2: Purchasing (example: Buy from black-owned businesses)

Category 3: Reparations (example: National African American Reparations Commission (NAARC))

Category 4: Philanthropy (example: Read Freeing ourselves from colonial white-savior models of philanthropy)
