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. https://t.co/Lz7iBF4TGJ

[Dennis Price @dennisaprice]

“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.

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.

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

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

[Lauren Paul @lpaultweets]

@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

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

[Bipartisan Policy Center @BPC_Bipartisan]

And finally, @lpaultweets of @commonfutureco on equitable investing and community growth:

[Lauren Paul @lpaultweets]

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 https://t.co/CtNnzAvPwQ

[Denise Hearn @denisehearn_]

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.

[Lauren Paul @lpaultweets]

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.

[Jason Grumet @JasonGrumet]

Experts including @PaulMRomer, @Oren_Cass, @TheaLeeEPI, @WSpriggs, @FionaGreigDC, @BradleyML, @LPaultweets, @MDMcGeary, @TheWorkersLab & @DomesticWorkers pitched creative ideas to address economic challenges.

Here's what they had to say:

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

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

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

[Stanford Social Innovation Review @SSIReview]

"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: https://t.co/L4wD95n6Cb
