Vision

To solve America’s historic racial and socio-economic wealth, income and opportunity divides. This vision is the foundation of the Just Economy Pledge (www.justpledge.org).

Goals

1. 1.We aim to develop capability to address emerging and intersectional issue areas, such as non-CRA community investments, economic justice + health + environmental justice, and the impact of technology on financial services. We aim to create social impact funds and ventures to build wealth and expand access to financial services with a focus on low-wealth people and communities of color.
2. 2.We train, support and represent community organizations, building a capable and powerful member coalition. We advance equitable opportunities to build community and personal wealth through access to credit, capital, careers, investment and ownership. We advise, incubate and invest in enterprises that expand economic mobility and strengthen communities of historic disinvestment.
3. 3.We work with community leaders, policymakers and institutions to advance solutions and build the will to address America’s persistent racial and wealth inequality. We organize, investigate and hold accountable public and private institutions to address community needs. We build capacity, train, and develop community and activist leaders.
