| John,
 Across the country, the ownership economy is gaining momentum—expanding access to business, home, and employee ownership, and helping more people build wealth. The idea is simple and powerful: when more people own assets, our economy becomes more inclusive.
 
 But ownership alone isn’t enough. Too often, we overlook how Black, Indigenous, and other communities of color have seen their ownership gains stripped away through redlining, racial violence, and the erosion of legal protections. To truly build an equitable economy, we must pair access to ownership with the systems and safeguards that help it endure.
 
 We invite you to join us for Building Ownership That Lasts: Envisioning Sustained Ownership, the first conversation in a two-part series exploring what community-controlled ownership looks like when protection and equity are centered from the start.
 
 Join us for the next conversation in Common Future’s Redefining Risk series, where sector leaders will reimagine what equitable ownership can look like in practice.
