Our People.

Common Future is a Black-led, multiracial organization. We are audacious, expansive, and unapologetic thinkers and doers who bring lived experience to the problems we tackle. Our diverse team of strategists, community organizers, financial activists, and policy enthusiasts provides capital, operational support, and strategic partnership to budding solutions addressing racial and economic injustice. 

We hold ourselves to the following culture values:

Our Culture Values
  • We place equity at the center of our work.
  • We are the communities that we serve.
  • We embrace experimentation in the face of change.
  • We expand our thinking to reimagine what’s broken.
  • We take a collective approach to solving problems.
  • We model a new way of working.
Our Network

Network Leaders

Network Leader_Erika Seth Davies

We exist to unite and uplift the leadership network. The Network consists of people on the frontlines—community practitioners, place-based foundation leaders, and impact investors—who have participated in our programs and connect over a shared agenda. We build opportunities for collaboration across the Network and seek out ways to resource their efforts to build equitable economies.
