John,

At Common Future we don’t wait for permission to build the economy we need. And neither do our partners. Take a look:
* Legacy Lab is proving that community ownership looks different everywhere—and that's the point. From cooperative land trusts in Baltimore to community-rooted publishing in D.C. and collective retail models in Detroit, our partners are building wealth and decision-making locally. Because when we invest in people, ownership becomes a shared reality.
* Our investments are multiplying. Through Community Credit Lab, we deployed over 200 loans to communities locked out by traditional banks, with partners recycling capital through their own lending programs to reach even more families and small businesses. This is a regenerative economy in action.
* Our Futurists community is growing, in numbers and in depth. Through our What If podcast we’re sparking conversations about economic possibilities far beyond what we’re told is realistic. And these conversations don’t stay in the room; they’re inspiring people to tell a different story about their own communities, one that centers our inherent dignity and worthiness.

This is what’s possible when we move at the speed of relationship, not transaction. And it’s why this moment matters.

We need you with us. ([link removed])
