The final of 3 orgs that REC is donating our remaining assets to is @powershiftnet, whose work on climate change and environmental justice has guided REC for over a decade. We encourage REC's friends and followers to follow and support their work! powershift.org/
One of REC's proudest partnerships has been with @freedomtothrive, who is doing timely work to reimagine the criminal justice and immigration systems. REC and Freedom to Thrive partnered on prison divestment work that continues to this day.

An update to our extended community: Since August 2019, the Responsible Endowments Coalition (REC) has been conducting a Listening Tour to explore REC's work, strategy, and place in the movement.
