Just last month Amalgamated Bank celebrated a century of operation! To help us celebrate this milestone with them, Benn has Ivan Frishberg, Chief Sustainability Officer on the show to talk about different initiatives the bank has implemented over the last 100 years and where they are hoping to go next. Benn and Ivan cover just about everything from Climate Justice to LGBTQ+ Rights, Reproductive Rights to Voting Rights, and Racial Justice to Anti-Violence and Gun Safety and so much more. How does a bank do all this and still protect your investments? You are just going to have to tune in to learn more! 

April 14th, 2023 was Amalgamated Bank’s official 100 Year’s Celebration! Read the full story from their President and CEO, Priscilla Sims Brown here.
