In this mini course on Bank Divesting, you’ll get specific resources on diverting your money to:

  • how to divest into banks that are more ethical,
  • deal with credit cards and debt smartly for yourself,
  • consider socially responsible investing,
  • and think about your finances from a holistic perspective.

There is no gold star in capitalism, since it's very difficult to "opt out." We can, however, make choices that are more aligned with our values while within the system - and that's what divesting is about.

Moving our money symbolically creates a ripple effect that ultimately does two things.

  1. It sends a clear messages to big banks
  2. It materially supports the smaller banks we move money INTO.

This course is part of a larger project on Hacking Capitalism, learn more here.

When we hack capitalism, we take the concept of workaround from hacking, and anti-corporate values to motivate and instruct us on how to move past freezing and fear into positive action around money.
