Event Description
Pushed
In 2006, James Hillhouse High School graduated approximately 197 of the originally enrolled 479 students; and Wilbur Cross High School graduated 263 of the originally enrolled 555 students leaving a staggering 571 non-graduates from the two largest High Schools in New Haven.
The Documentary Pushed asks the questions, where are these students? How are they accounted for? Who is counting the number of graduates and dropouts?
The document is shot through the eyes of students, parents, legislators and legal personnel and explores the issue of students affected by standardized testing and ‘No Child Left Behind’ policy who are forced to abandon mainstream schools and are pushed into alternative schools that lack the necessary resources for them to graduate.

Laying the Cash Tracks for Community Impact
LISC CFO Christina Travers is among the impact investing leaders who contributed commentaries to a new book, The Social Justice Investor, and joined a panel discussion at today’s book launch. In her essay, “Laying the Cash Tracks,” (reprinted here) she explains the evolution of LISC’s capital markets experience—noting how discouraging Wall Street conversations eventually led to transformative, community-focused investments.Sharing the Story of Social Justice Investing
With the launch of the new book, The Social Justice Investor, LISC’s Christina Travers reflects on the ways that CDFIs have tapped the capital markets to deepen their impact—working to upend lingering misconceptions among some investors. "Whether we are financing affordable housing, small businesses, health, safety, climate resilience, racial equity or jobs, we see financial performance and local impact as part of the same whole."EPA Awards GRID Alternatives Solar for All Grant
LISC partner GRID Alternatives has been awarded a $249,800,000 Solar for All grant from the EPA to advance renewable and clean energy sources for affordable housing communities across the country. “The grant is an incredible boon to the movement to decarbonize homes and lower energy costs that burden millions of everyday Americans,” said Michael T. Pugh, president and CEO of LISC.
