Ethical Investing in 2026
- Started Mar 11 at 7:00 PM EDT
For those who do not want to profit from destruction
—but who also want to take care of themselves financially. Because you're allowed to want to take care of yourself financially!
(And because you know that poverty is also a system of control under capitalism.)
It's true—we are often default invested in companies that profit from war, climate destruction, surveillance, and detention.
It can all feel helpless, but luckily, there are "more" ethical strategies and easy swaps you can make.
This will be a hearty and honest discussion about investing and money within our flawed capitalist system. Cut through the noise and confusion and learn about the decisions that really matter.
Covered in this workshop:
How to invest free from weapons and oil
Divesting from ICE—is it possible, and what are the best methods?
Making decisions that are both financially and ethically good
Greenwashing—does ethical investing actually work?

How to find a less evil bank
Meet Your Teacher!
Hi, I'm Amanda! You may know me as @dumpster.doggy on the internet.
My business is called Invested Development, and my aim is to make investing education accessible and fun. If you have felt left out of important conversations about money and investing, my work is for you!
In addition to loudly advocating for marginalized groups, I have actual experience working in finance. I know exactly who the system was designed to work for, and that's part of why I do this work.
After graduating with degrees in economics and communications, I went to work in investment management. I did this for about 6 and a half years. My primary role was called "investment counselor;" I was the person in direct communication with our high-net-worth clients, relaying portfolio strategy and answering all investing-related questions, on the spot, every day. To do this, I earned my Series 65 license, which is legally required for anyone acting as an investment adviser and providing recommendations.
But helping rich men get richer? Yeah, that was never going to be my life's calling. And now, with my business, Invested Development, I've taught over 25,000 students—mostly women—how to invest.
Can't make it live?
All good! You'll receive the recording. But I strongly encourage you to make some time in your calendar and show up live. In addition to tangible strategies, I hope that being together makes us all feel a little less alone.
