Under Ben’s leadership, Living Cities has established a new data driven model of social justice that brings together local business, government, philanthropic and community leaders to disrupt long-obsolete systems and close the racial gaps in income and wealth that have been growing for more than forty years. The organization’s $40 million loan fund has been selected as one of the world’s top 50 impact investment funds for six consecutive years. Its network of local public sector leaders from more than forty cities are spreading and adopting a new culture of municipal innovation and re-imagining the relationship between government and citizens. More than 66,000 people follow the organization on Twitter; adding more than hundreds of new followers weekly. |
