'Move Your Money' Meeting Set

Tue, Nov 22, 2011

A group of Colgate professors, student groups and local organizers holds a public meeting based on the issues surrounding the Wall Street banking crisis next week.

"Move Your Money: A Local Banker Speaks Out" will be held Thursday, Dec 1 at 7.30 p.m. in the Hamilton Public Library Community Room.

Stefanie Fishel, a postdoctoral fellow in Peace and Conflict Studies at Colgate, says the meeting is in response to the national "Move Your Money" campaign. She said organizers invite members of the community to learn how to divest from the "Too Big to Fail" Wall Street banks with a focus on local banks and their ability to support a responsible and community-oriented banking system.
Fishel said topics to be discussed include: Why should I move my money?  Will moving my money really make a difference?  Which banks should I be avoiding?
