The defining crises of our time—climate change, racial inequity, and broadening inequality—are interconnected, human-made problems. These are not natural outcomes. They are the predictable results of concentrated power—systems built without accountability that reward short-term profit while undermining collective long-term stability.

But we don’t have to fuel our own destruction. By stepping into our role as stewards of both the economy and democracy, we unlock a future where the systems meant to serve us finally do. Markets and democracies thrive when rules are fair, participation is broad, and decision-makers face real consequences.

Putting Our Money Where Our Future is

Imagine an economy where:

  • Workers don’t just power the system—they help steer it, with real voice and influence in corporate and investment decisions.

  • Investors demonstrate forceful stewardship and act as active owners and active clients, holding themselves, corporations and asset managers accountable for long-term value creation

  • Retirement savings and pensions build clean energy, fair jobs, and resilient communities—not pollution, exploitation, and inequality.

  • Emerging technologies like AI are built with guardrails, propelling rather than destabilizing  democracy, equity, and sustainable growth.
