John,
Over the past several months, we’ve been in deep reflection on our impact and the future we’re committed to building. From this period of intentional introspection, we’ve emerged with a refreshed and bold strategic direction. This newsletter is an opportunity for you to get a closer look at the future we’re building and imagining together.
As we work toward a more equitable economy, it’s important that we share in the framework that guides us. Our Theory of Change is grounded in the belief that true systemic change requires rethinking the systems of capital, power, and narrative. To get there, we focus on three key strategies: changing capital flows to prioritize repair, building community power through governance, and creating new narratives that uplift the voices of marginalized communities. Ultimately, we work toward a future where all people, regardless of race or class, have the power, choice, and ownership to thrive in an economy that works for everyone.
Each quarter, this newsletter will share updates from our programs, shifts happening across our sector, and deeper connections to the strategies guiding our work. This will serve as a window into how we’re pushing against extractive systems and moving toward community-rooted alternatives. We’re grateful for your partnership and community in the work.
