The Bay Area is one of the wealthiest regions in the United States, but it also has some of the highest income and wealth inequality. The legacies of economic exclusion and practices such as redlining and exclusionary zoning denied Black and brown people the opportunity to build wealth and have helped drive the income inequality that defines the region. By reimagining our existing systems, stakeholders have begun to collaborate on ways to alleviate inequality and build economic security. This panel will discuss the ways in which the Bay Area is working to build shared prosperity by challenging long-held ideas and embracing bold systems change, and will discuss some of the most promising ways for them to help build economic security for all people.
