Taking a stand

Enough is Enough

On December 14, 2012, 20 children and six adults were killed in a school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut. Yesterday, 19 children and two teachers were killed in a school shooting in Uvalde, Texas. Nearly a decade separates these two shootings.

Equality for all

On January 22, 1973. the Supreme Court ruled that a woman has an absolute right during the first three months of pregnancy to decide whether to bear her child, upholding the Fourteenth Amendment’s concept of personal liberty, and the Ninth Amendment’s reservation of rights to the people.

Better Together

I had dinner last week with a friend who holds a senior position at one of the banks in NYC. We caught up about many things, and as we found ourselves in the holy month of Ramadan, he shared with me that he and his teammates fasted for a week in support of a Muslim associate on his team.

Capitolis Connects

Capitolis Connects is a month-long charity drive that connects capital markets with charities in New York, London, and Tel Aviv doing innovative and impactful work to serve these communities. Every year in the month of June, Capitolis commits to donating a portion of all transactional revenue from their platform. The donation is split equally amongst three local charities nominated by the employee base.

This year’s organizations are:

New York

Covenant House helps transform and save the lives of more than a million homeless, runaway, and trafficked young people in the New York area.

London

Compliments of the House is a food redistribution charity in London that collects fresh, surplus food and delivers it to vulnerable Individuals and families.

Tel Aviv

Beit issie Shapiro is Israel’s leading developer and provider of innovative therapies and state-of-the art services for children and adults across the entire range of disabilities impacting over half a million people annually.

Ending gun violence

This year with the continual gun violence that plagues America’s streets and schools, Capitolis took a stand and supported organizations that support ending gun violence from every angle including action-oriented campaigns, research, education, and legislative actions.

Capitolis donated to two organizations at the forefront of those efforts:

Gun By Gun helps mobilize community-led gun buybacks, taking dangerous guns out of circulation.
100% of donations go to fund the Brady Plan and their 12-point agenda committed to delivering lifesaving change and comprehensive solutions to people across the country.
