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.
