In this episode of Impactful Conversations, Michael Santos,
a social-enterprise- and impact-investing associate in Morrison
& Foerster's San Francisco office, interviews Rodney
Foxworth, the CEO of Common Future. Based in Oakland, California,
Common Future tackles wealth inequality nation-wide by focusing on
the needs of communities that have been the most negatively
impacted by injustice, extraction, and exploitation.
To address the wealth gap, Rodney and Common Future are
committed to confronting the structural oppression that leaves many
communities out by shifting capital towards community
investment.
Common Future envisions an economy owned by people of all races
and ethnicities. Rodney believes in having communities assume a
position "as not just a stakeholder but as a literal
shareholder that is able to voice an opinion, has a vote, and is
able to influence and determine what types of businesses and
enterprises and economic development projects are invested
in," says Rodney. "That is power."
