Divestment Happy Hour!
Divestment Happy Hour was created by Solar Punk Farms and we’re bringing this iconic party to Brooklyn, to YOU, to join us as we move our money out of the pockets of planet-destroying big banks.
This iteration of Divestment Happy Hour is hosted by East Coast mates Climate Farm School, and in partnership with Walden Mutual Bank and Webatuck Valley Farm Collaborative. Arrivals start at 5:30pm, with food + program at 6pm.
You ever just….
1. Want to move your money out of big bad banks?
2. Want to hear about incredible food system projects like Webatuck Valley Farm Collaborative's Food Hub that get to flourish as a result of the work from good banks like Walden Mutual? Last year, in partnership with other Food Hubs across the Hudson Valley, Webatuck Valley Farm Collaborative moved 1.5M pounds of food. See how Walden Mutual is supporting WVFC's work with a custom line of credit using funds from individuals who open up CDs at Walden and pledge them to support the loan: link here. Could be you…
3. Want to make this dull task… fun??? We’ll have tasty food, a good vibe, folks from both Walden Mutual and Webatuck to answer your questions, and a CFS logo woodblock stamp station. Bring clothes or a bag or socks or something we haven’t thought of!
Ticket: $35/pp - covers snacks, an N/A beverage & space at Rule of Thirds. If you want to stay for dinner after, send megan@climatefarmschool.org a note and we'll connect you directly to their team for a reservation. Get the grilled onigiri. ;)
Things to know:
You'll have an opportunity to ask questions! Folks from Walden Mutual and Webatuck Valley Farm Collaborative will be there, and you can make the choice of moving funds into a checkings, savings, or a long-term savings CD to support Webatuck.
