Suggest questionEmployee ownership can be a driving force in building generational wealth, replacing longstanding racial inequity with tangible, material growth. Employee ownership preserves Black wealth by supporting Black-owned businesses, providing a sale that keeps the businesses open and enables Black employees to become owners.
Jennifer Bryant leads the Black Employee Ownership Initiative (BEOI) for Project Equity. This initiative integrates across our programs to ensure that all of our services reach Black workers and Black business owners. These efforts include work to expand the available data about Black entrepreneurship and workforce density. We are forming critical partnerships with organizations that have deep roots in localities and communities with significant Black workforces. We are also developing strategies to advance Black EO and to add employee ownership to the Black wealth building agenda.

About Project Equity
The grassroots nature of employee ownership makes it a natural fit for cities looking to strengthen their local economies. But what does the landscape of city policy to promote employee ownership currently look like? To better understand this question, Certified EO conducted a series of interviews with EO community partners involved in active and recent city policy initiatives.
This webinar will share general findings on which cities have enacted policies to promote employee ownership. The Pennsylvania Center for Employee Ownership and Project Equity will join to share details on two specific city policy efforts.
