Meet Our Futurists-in-Residence

Centering community-rooted leadership to shift power and shape just economic futures.

Friend,

We’re excited to introduce you to our Futurists-in-Residence ([link removed]) program, bringing our values to life by investing in visionary leadership at the intersection of economic and racial justice.

This one-year residency deepens our commitment to justice-centered economies by supporting leaders who have firsthand experience with the impacts of injustice. Through leadership development and collaborative engagement, the program challenges the systems that perpetuate inequality and uplifts bold, community-rooted visions of what is possible. As multiple crises reveal the cracks in our current systems, these leaders are imagining and building transformative futures.
