==================================================================
Is your money being invested in companies building nuclear weapons?
Corporations destroying the environment, or who "union-bust" or
discriminate? What you have in a "regular bank" quite likely is
invested in assets promoting things we are strongly opposed to. Below
are several places to put your money which won't let your money work
against your values...
==================================================================

Working Assets VISA (and Working Assets Student VISA)
====================================================

When you sign up, Working Assets donates [$2 for student VISA, $5 for
regular, I think] to progressive non-profit organizations working for
peace, human rights, and the environment.  Then, every time you use
your card -- no matter how small the purchase -- Working Assets
contributes 5 cents to the same progressive groups... at no cost to
you.

No Annual Free for first 6 months. Then just $20 a year.
No finance charge on purchases paid within 25 days.
Annual fixed percentage rate just 17.5% if you defer payment.

Each time you use one of our "Tools for Practical Idealists," money
flows to non-profit action groups working for peace, human rights, the
environment and economic justice. All members can nominate groups to
be recipients of the Working Assets Funding Service Donations Pool.
Then, once a year, you vote on how to allocate the funds. Since 1986
members have generated over $700,000 in donations to groups like those
below:
