SUMMARY:Our Economic Leverage
DESCRIPTION:As people of faith in the United States\, we have seen how boycotts have been effective over the years in creating social change (e.g. the Montgomery Bus Boycott). How can we best use those\, and what are some other economic measures we can use today to ensure our personal money and our church’s money is being spent in a way that aligns with our faith values? How can we leverage our resources to offer solidarity to Palestinian partners for the long term\, especially in these times? \nJoin us as we hear from two colleagues who are directly engaged. From the Joint Advocacy Initiative of the East Jerusalem YMCA and the YWCA of Palestine\, you’ll hear from Muhanad al-Qaisi about the ways we can invest in the long-term stability of Palestinian farmers who are being threatened by Jewish settlers and the Israeli military in the West Bank. You will also hear from Matthew Illian about some best practices the United Church Funds uses to ensure that church investments are in line with our faith values and what questions to ask about your own investments.
