Damien Goodmon is the CEO of Downtown Crenshaw Rising and the architect of the Liberty Ecosystem. Raising over $34 million in philanthropy and $90 million in commitments from impact investors and debt partners, the attempt to acquire the Crenshaw Mall is the most successful capital raise for a community-owned real estate project in American history. Based in the Crenshaw community of L.A., the Liberty Ecosystem’s mission is to liberate marginalized communities by building a community-driven, people-centered, environmentally-sustainable local economy.
