On Sept. 27, join @rdfoxworth & @PCVtweets President/CEO @bulbulnyc to learn about how @commonfutureco Policy Entrepreneurs are modeling a more inclusive, democratic and transformative way forward for economic policy. bit.ly/3eOfqHI

“Economic policy is due for a refresh,” says @lpaultweets of @commonfutureco. Watch these 'policy entrepreneurs' as they scale up and replicate what's working to drive inclusive growth in cities and states across the country. Up on @ImpactAlpha impactalpha.com/policy-entrepr…

Excited to share perspective alongside @a_russman in @FastCompany. After Dobbs v Jackson, corporations stepped up to fill abortion care gaps. We ask: What consequences does this have on worker power? Health equity? For @Starbucks, PR from benefits helps cover up union busting.

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

@ImpactInvestUS @commonfutureco @TheLeanVentures we are only accepting US applicants in this first cohort. Thank you for the question!

Exciting announcement from @commonfutureco - learn more about how to apply for their new Policy Incubator to advance game-changing economic justice & policy ideas policyincubator.commonfuture.co #impinv #econdev

Thrilled to be launching applications for @commonfutureco’s policy incubator alongside the brilliant @cccardin @bulbulnyc @DalbergTweet’s Marcus Haymon @denisehearn_ @LocalFirstAZ’s Kimber Lanning @SmlBizMajority’s Xiomara Peña @SolanaRice @nataliemself + @Orrick’s Perry Teicher

@denisehearn_ That’s a great point. We all have to be. Well intentioned “concerns” around change (that protect “order” over “justice”) are often the more temping intellectual choice. I find I do my best when I’m around inquisitive, brave people (like you) that help re-norm bolder choices

@lpaultweets Very good, thanks for sharing! Should also say -- an ongoing self-inquiry to see if I am a category 1 masquerading as a category 2, myself!

Would add a third category: 3) People who think they are in category 2 but are actually in category 1.

Thx for the opportunity to uplift how the #whitehouse initiative on inclusive economic growth would expand access to capital for small businesses and entrepreneurs @BPC_Bipartisan @danestangler! @ImpactInvestUS @BCorporation @commonfutureco

Structural change to our economy is possible, if we can get coordinated. Grateful for orgs like @MoveCAFWD + @LocalFirstAZ and supporters like @FordFoundation + @MarkWarner w/ @ImpactInvestUS @BCorporation ⁦@TriplePundit⁩ #whitehouse triplepundit.com/story/2021/inc…

Anti-monopoly is so much more than antitrust. It is a way of viewing the world through the lens of power: who has it, how it is wielded, and whether it's used to dominate or to partner. This frame helps cut through a lot of partisan politics, false dichotomies, and red herrings.

The attention that CDFIs have received recently is 🙌🏽. Proud to rep @commonfutureco here. Now, let’s remember that MDIs, micro lenders, 504 certified dev lenders, and other nonprofit institutions are critical as well. We need a long-term build of equitable infrastructure.

“I’m going to ask a question about race. If you wanna respond about something else, you can.” - America in a nutshell.

Can we please stop calling it “the issue of race” when what we’re really discussing is “the issue of racism”

"We don't talk often enough in this conversation about racial justice [about] the economic side. Racial and economic justice are interdependent." — @RDFoxworth (@commonfutureco) at #SSIRinstitute. Read about supporting entrepreneurs of color: ssir.org/articles/entry…
