V4P galvanizes the advocacy of business leaders, entrepreneurs, philanthropists, and other prominent individuals who unite to champion a healthy climate/environment, strengthen our democracy, and ensure economic and social justice for all. V4P members know they also have an unusual amount of access to policymakers and that their views are sometimes given increased weight. Understanding this and believing our democracy shouldn’t work that way, they use their positions to ally with historically marginalized communities, amplifying the concerns and solutions those communities put forward. V4P members believe that the communities closest to the problems are closest to the solutions.
