Profile
Our annual Demo Day gives us optimism, energy and strength. This year, we heard from heroes in communities around the world, leaders who see challenges and are eager to test solutions. They are fearless in defense of their ideals, seeking to end gun violence, safeguard the right to vote, protect Native lands and help the most vulnerable among us. They embrace art as a way to illuminate injustice. They seek to heal suffering and protect the planet. Emerson Collective deploys a wide range of tools—from impact investing to philanthropy to advocacy—in pursuit of a more equal and just America. We focus on creating systemic change in education, immigration, climate, and cancer research and treatment. Established and led by Laurene Powell Jobs, we work to create new possibilities for individuals and communities.
