"Very few people own most of our economy. What are some strategies we can leverage to take back that ownership?" Lauren Paul @commonfutureco #shift2022

.@TheNext100 talks about the importance of "getting-stuff-done skills" that really grounded pragmatic leaders have that many organizations may be unaware of. | #Shift2022

Structural barriers that smaller, more marginalized businesses & their representatives might face: 1) fear of safety, 2) resources, 3) language used by those in power. — @lpaultweets of @commonfutureco | #Shift2022

"Often, when we want to move quickly, we stop being collaborative, and we stop taking the time. We don't take the time to have the collaborative, inclusive process that needs to happen in order to center the best solutions." — Kate Ogden, @SeventhGen | #Shift2022

Key takeaways from today's panel will be: • How businesses can participate in lobbying • How larger companies can lend power to stakeholders in this work • How small businesses can be effective advocates for change — @CuriousJLuis, CEO of @bcorpuscan | #Shift2022

“What would it look like if we empowered lenders to look at qualifiers around character instead of credit? How can we incubate solutions like that?” @lpaultweets of @commonfutureco #Shift2022
