Acting Responsibly in A Democratic Society | The CPR Hub
Business executives often wield significant social and political power, and can undermine democratic governance when they pursue their particular view of what is right or good for society.

Millions of baby boomer business owners are set to retire, yet many do not have succession plans. If these businesses are sold to corporations or close down, communities will suffer. This is where transitioning to worker ownership emerges as the clear solution. project-equity.org/impact/silve...
The Small Business Closure Crisis

Baby boomers own over half of all privately held firms in the United States.

This Silver Tsunami of retiring business owners own over 2.9 million firms which represent half of all job-creating businesses in the country. These firms employ roughly 32 million workers and generate nearly $6.5 trillion in revenue. As most of these owners retire, our local business landscape is going through a dramatic shift.

6 out of 10 business owners plan to sell in the next decade. By selling to their employees, owners can secure their legacy and keep these businesses and jobs in the community.

Small businesses are the lifeblood of our economy. Small businesses make up 99.9% of all firms and provide 46.4% of all jobs in the United States. In addition, they circulate 3x more money back into local communities than absentee-owned businesses and corporate chains. Baby boomers employ an
estimated 1 in 5 private sector workers nationwide.The Employee Ownership Solution

Employee ownership deepens the impact of local businesses and keeps them locally owned for the long term.

Let Project Equity help you track the impact of baby boomer retirements in your region and turn crisis into opportunity.

Benefits to businesses:
● Higher productivity and growth
● Lower employee turnover
● Improved longevity, lasting legacy

Benefits to workers:
● Better pay and benefits
● Assets and business ownership
● Voice in key decisions

Benefits to communities
● Increased local spending
● Heightened civic engagement
● Community wealth building

Interested in learning how businesses can transition to employee ownership and communities can keep good jobs?

I was recently thinking about Propaghandi shows of my youth. They would often mention the Mussolini quote about merging corporate and state power to claim fascism, but misunderstand what "corporate" meant in that context or the direction of influence that merge implied. That seems relevant now.

The academy that trains most of the officers of the nation’s sea-going law enforcement and search and rescue force has eliminated “climate change” and related terminology from its curriculum in an effort to conform to President Donald Trump’s policies.

US Coast Guard Academy censors ‘climate change’ from its curriculum
The terminology will be stricken in classes for future officers in a service that confronts global warming every day, a move some say will weaken it.
