How do we create an economy in which ownership is truly shared and in which we all co-own the future? To addresses this question, four authors from *NPQ’s* summer economic justice magazine will challenge us to rethink how to structure ownership at the level of culture, the nonprofit sector, and the workplace. Our panelists are:

- **Kamuela Enos** is director of the Office of Indigenous Innovation at the University of Hawai’i, of mixed-race Hawaiian heritage, and a longtime activist in the Indigenous rights movement in Hawai’i.
- **Rodney Foxworth** is CEO of Common Future, an organization that supports a network of leaders who are building a more equitable economy in over 100 low-income communities and communities of color across the country.
- **Emily Kawano** is codirector of the Wellspring Cooperative Corporation, based in Springfield, Massachusetts, and is a cofounder of the US Solidarity Economic Network.
- **Esteban Kelly** is executive director of the U.S. Federation of Worker Cooperatives, which represents the nation’s estimated 1,000 worker co-ops, and is a longtime leader in the solidarity economy and co-op movements.

This webinar will explore:

- What is ownership? How does its present structure reinforce inequality?
- How does the present system of ownership facilitate resource extraction?
- What ownership rights presently accrue to the owners of capital? What rights do the public and local communities retain?
- How must ownership rights be restructured to create a more equitable economy?
- How can nonprofits and community groups leverage their own economic activity to promote a more equitable and democratic economy?
- How can a kinship-based model of ownership support the revival of Indigenous communities and promote equitable regeneration?
- How do worker co-ops democratize ownership? What role can policy play?
- What does a broader vision of democratic ownership that sustains us—at work, on the land, in communities, and at home—look, taste, and feel like?

Whether you’re a social movement activist, nonprofit leader, board member, or engaged in community-based organizing, this webinar will provide you with real-life examples and lessons learned that can inform your work in your own community.

The moderator for this webinar is *NPQ* senior editor and economic justice program director **Steve Dubb**. Steve has worked with cooperatives and nonprofits for over two decades and has been both a student and practitioner in the field of community economic development.  

You can send your questions to [webinar@npqmag.org](mailto:webinar@npqmag.org) to have them answered during the web event.
