What is CARE, the anti-abortion lobby group that launched Kate Forbes’s political career? | openDemocracy

openDemocracy revealed this week that Forbes’s first job in the Scottish Parliament had been funded by Christian Action, Research and Education (CARE), known for its opposition to abortion, sex education and LGBTIQ+ rights. The findings have put a spotlight on the group, which claims it has placed more than 300 interns trained to take a “biblical approach” to political issues into MPs offices.

Why the fuss about ESG investing?

Darcy Hitchcock

Congress recently voted to overturn a rule allowing fund managers from taking into account environmental, social and governance issues when they invest in companies.

Through the Republican lens, these look like liberal issues: climate change, social justice, transparency. They think integrating ESG into investment decisions pushes that liberal agenda at the expense of returns. Here’s what they don’t understand.

  • Many studies have shown that ESG screened portfolios perform as well or better than ones that don’t.
