We have completed our Pause, with much gratitude to Maggie Kaplan and Invoking the Pause.

As You Sow:  We are the nation's leading non-profit practitioner of shareholder advocacy. Corporations are responsible for most of the pressing social and environmental problems we face today — we believe corporations must be part of the solutions. We know shareholders to be a powerful force for creating positive, lasting change in corporate behavior. We use that power, to create that change.

Our Pause: After working productively and joyously with ITP through several grants, this year we applied for a literal Pause. We had found ourselves particularly drawn to Invoking the Pause's governing idea - a creative pause - a reflective retreat - an intentional break from daily routines in a place of natural beauty, to reflect upon and think more deeply about some aspect of the climate challenges we are confronting.  » Read More

In the ongoing human response to the dynamic challenges of climate change, it is imperative that our initiatives be synchronous with living systems.   In the spirit of minimizing our impacts to the biosphere, reconsidered land management practices are vital.

ITP sponsored two workshops in 2016, which sought to positively affect the carbon cycle through the processing of organic wastes into compost that can be applied as a source of regenerative nutrients to working lands.  The first workshop was held at the Presidio in San Francisco in May, the second in Sacramento in October.  Participants were members of a diverse and growing community of Californians who envision a series of critical systemic changes that converge towards a climate beneficial future. » Read More

Invoking The Pause Grant Partners, As You Sow, will be soon be releasing a report titled: "Unconventional Risks: The Growing Uncertainty of Oil Investments".  Here are what some reviewers are already saying: 

·  “This is a tremendous report…I found myself getting more and more hopeful reading the report…”
·   “I can't think of anything that you have missed out, and I think in particular your discussion of future Chinese and Indian oil demand is absolutely key and is very well done. I also think the section on Saudi Arabia's evolving oil-production policy highlights an issue whose importance has not been fully appreciated yet. In short, I think this is an excellent report…”
·   “Overall I think this is very strong.”
·   “I think it… will be an extremely useful addition to the conversation we are all having with companies and other investors—it’s really helpful to have all of this information in a single place.”

The full report will be released to the media in the next few weeks. Check back for updates and the full report.
