from Progressive Pockets: a podcast about the untapped power of our wallets to build the world we want · host Genet "G.G." Gimja

Send us Fan MailHere’s this week’s letter:I recently heard a talk by someone who was saying that shareholders can influence what a company does. But my question is, do I need to be a big time player with lots of stocks to be able to have any influence? The speaker gave the example of Engine 1, and said they had a tiny amount of stocks in Exxon but I guess I just want to hear another opinion about this. Can a middle income person really have any influence?https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-hedge-fund-manager-who-did-battle-with-exxonand-won-11623470420 https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/23/magazine/exxon-mobil-engine-no-1-board.html https://www.asyousow.org/reports/proxy-preview-2022 Support the show
