Our Mission
Working families and everyday citizens must take control of “our money”—the tens of trillions of dollars in retirement and other institutional assets—to invest wisely in ways that create good jobs and revitalize our communities. There are strategic and responsible investment paths that have the capacity to rebuild our economy and infrastructure, reinvigorate our cities, and create the highly-anticipated green jobs of the future.
