    In 2023, Stoll was appointed to the board of directors of Amalgamated Bank, a bank aligned with the labor union movement that was formerly owned by Workers United, SEIU and its predecessor unions. The bank has over $4 billion in assets and nearly $40 billion under management, largely from union pension funds. The bank operates as a “a left-of-center, changemaker bank” that uses financial mechanisms to push for left-of-center corporate policies and provides boutique banking services to labor unions, left-of-center organizations, environmentalist-aligned businesses, and the campaigns of left-of-center political candidates. The bank has counted Ready for Hillary (a super PAC supporting Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign), the Democratic National Committee, and labor unions and similar organizations among its clients. 3 4 5
