Virtual Event

You asked. So we made it our mission to deliver.
Your feedback was unequivocal. The top takeaways that flowed back to the guest presenters and me, following the Hope Knows No Borders Network May 24 webinar, Learn How to Divest from Prison Profiteers Hiding in Your Portfolio: SAY NO! to Coerced Complicity in ICE’s Deterrence to Detention to Deportation Pipeline, were these:
- You’ve convinced me why I should divest from the for-profit prison industrial complex, but I need more information as to how.
- I can’t divest as an individual, as my money is tied up in a mutual fund chosen by my employer. Can you advise me on how to turn this into a collective action to force hands at the leadership level of my professional industry?
- Have you considered turning this divestment Call to Action into a movement to capture the attention of communities across the country at the hyperlocal level?
- How do we make such efforts as these systemic? I worked for years to close our local ICE prison, only to see one opened up a county over. In the current political environment, can we ever win?
