Change the World by Changing the Way We Invest!
Jan 7th, 2010
Help us celebrate the new year by joining the movement that is changing how we think about investing.
RVL is partnering with Oikocredit USA to launch its first ever grassroots movement to end global poverty. This means we are organizing communities in Seattle and beyond to join the Oikocredit Movement to fight poverty through microfinance. Seattle is our pilot community, and we plan to take lessons learned and expand the movement to communities around the U.S. who are also committed to ending global poverty.
Our kick-off event is Tuesday, January 12th from 5:30 – 9pm at Evo in Fremont, at Seattle Greendrinks! Oikocredit USA Executive Director Terry Provence will be speaking and answering questions, along with all our local organizers, and our community organizing partners Re-Vision Labs.
Please join us if you’re in the area! And to find other ways to get involved in the movement, join us at the community hub, where you can meet other people interested in microfinance, attend local house parties and events, and find out more about Oikocredit.
