Suggested Practices and Examples for Implementation:

• Set up a consultation meeting with an advisor/organization focused on divestment and reinvestment (such as Earth Equity Advisors in Asheville, NC).
• Research reinvestment options online, focusing on supporting things like clean and renewable energy, fossil fuel divestment, etc.
• Read about what your denomination or faith network is already doing in regard to divestment and reinvestment – look for proposed or passed resolutions, statements, etc.
• Begin having conversations with your faith community about morally responsible investing (hold congregational conversations, discuss these issues in bible study or small groups, add a word in your sermon/message/homily/etc.)
• Meet with your personal investment team to discuss your investments and how you can divest from fossil fuels.
