(k)ollective joy happy hour brought to you by Sphere & PlanetHAUS
Join Sphere and PlanetHAUS for an Earth Day happy hour to bring together a diverse group of climate champions across industries and celebrate people making a massive impact in getting fossil fuels out of retirement savings. Meet, celebrate, and join some of the champions pushing to get Big Oil out of their company’s 401(k), their state’s 529 plan, and their union’s pension plan, like the hundreds of celebrities currently pushing for this in the Screen Actors Guild pension. We are everyday people like you making big strides forward in the climate finance movement.
Learn how the single most impactful action you can take for climate change may be to move your retirement savings out of fossil fuels, and how when employees work together to move entire 401(k) plans, they can move billions of dollars out of the systems that are preventing climate action. Over 500 Hollywood actors have signed an open letter to get the SAG Pension to get out of Big Oil. Thousands of Google employees have gotten a climate-friendly option on their 401(k). And dozens of other orgs have employee groups who are pushing their HR teams to follow suit. From retirement savings to college savings plans and beyond, this is a space for the people who want to shift how capital flows, and what kind of future it builds.
Hosted as part of PlanetHAUS’ Earth Day programming at The Battery, join us for our (k)ollective joy Happy Hour. It’s a moment to recognize how far we’ve come in this movement, and to strengthen the relationships and community that will carry this work forward.
