Member Q&A with Tracy Williams, Omidyar Network (September 2020). “We’re trying to build something new. There’s been no economic model in our history that worked for everyone—no multi-racial, inclusive economy. There are no playbooks or best practices for what we’re taking on. We’re in it for the long-haul.” |

Member Q&A with Jidan Terry-Koon, Director, People, San Francisco Foundation (August 2020) “Building worker power to balance corporate power and the aggregation of wealth has long been an underpinning of our work, and now there’s the political momentum and interest for this to be more explicit.” |
 |
“Addressing economic security in the Bay Area is a critical part of helping people thrive, of supporting their wellbeing, and of enabling them to participate in their community.“ |

Member Q&A with Caitlin Hamood, Program Officer, Stoneman Family Foundations (March 2020) “Without equitably-raised adequate revenues we cannot have a functional and thriving society. This really touches all other issues we care about as funders. It’s not that every funder needs to fund tax policy but there is an invitation to all funders to look at how tax policy impacts their work and their ability to build a fair society.” |

Member Q&A with Pierre Joseph, Program Officer, Solidago Foundation (September 2019) “We believe that the people closest to the pain should be closest to the power, and you can’t have political power without economic power.” |
 |
Member Q&A with Nicky Goren, President and CEO, Eugene and Agnes E. Meyer Foundation (July 2019) “At Meyer, we believe that philanthropic institutions have a responsibility to understand the history of society—why we are where we are, the role that our institutions have played in that, and how they’ve contributed to the issues that we’re trying to solve.”
