John,

Social Venture Circle and the American Sustainable Business Council invite you to join us TODAY at 1pm ET for Invest in Transforming Ownership for Social Justice.

Amid growing efforts to build our economy back better, there is an emerging consensus that employee-ownership (EO) plays a crucial role in protecting and creating quality jobs that reduce social inequality. A particularly key strategy is the conversion of conventional businesses into employee-owned ones.

In this webinar we will explore

WHY you should consider investing in this new EO ecosystem and…

HOW to do so utilizing self-directed retirement accounts. Trillions of dollars are currently held in retirement accounts. Moving even a few percent of these funds would have a huge impact.


The experts joining us are:

Erin Axelrod - Co founder of the Next Egg, a resource and community for people who want to implement self directed IRAs and channel their retirement savings out of Wall Street

Blake Jones - Successful solar energy entrepreneur (Namaste Solar) turned investment manager of the Kachuwa Impact Fund specializing in cooperatively run enterprises and aligned real estate ventures

Marisol Lazo - Flores - Co founder of Main Street Phoenix Project, a unique fund seeking to promote cooperative restaurant development with job dignity in Colorado

Starting in the new year we will be holding Invest for Better Circles for women and GNB individuals, a curriculum based on Activate Your Money: Invest to Grow Your Wealth and Build a Better World , by Janine Firpo.

Invest for Better Circles are for women and GNB individuals who have investable assets and are ready to activate them for social/environmental impact. These small learning groups will be a safe space designed to help us deepen our understanding of impact investing and take action with like-minded peers.  A space where no one is selling a product or a service!

Leadership Training - 11/16 - 12:00-1:30 ET (no expertise necessary- the curriculum is already prepared.)
Circle Groups begin - 1/2022
These circles will meet monthly and will be facilitated and organized and all will be encouraged to bring our experiences, expertise, challenges and ideas to the discussions.  There will be several "ask the expert" opportunities between the monthly meetings.
