Story Lab: Shaping What's Next for Proximate Investing

​Join us for a co-design session for Proximate Investing, a new editorial series from Proximate Press.

​Traditional finance is grounded on distance. Financial institutions have a profound distance from the communities that their decisions affect.

​This summer, Proximate launched a new editorial series that explores what happens when that distance closes – through participatory investing, trust-based finance, and other forms of community-controlled capital.

​Join us to weigh in on the future of this series. You'll hear from some of our writers about the stories they've crafted already, share what you want to see, and connect with peers working to shift power in finance.

​Read some early stories in the series:

• ​Slowly But Surely, Foundations Are Changing How They Invest • (Read)

• ​The Long History of Community-Controlled Capital in the US • (Read)

• ​The Next Fight for New York City: Who Controls the Money? • (Read)
