The SEC Petition for a Crowdfunding Exemption

Here is the petition that the Sustainable Economies Law Center (SELC) just sent to the SEC proposing a crowdfunding exemption.

Read the whole thing— it’s so well researched and reasoned! Jenny Kassan, Kathleen Kenney, and Aroma Sharma at the SELC did fantastic work on this.


The work was funded via this successful IndieGoGo campaign by the following highly-respected, well-liked, kind, smart, and sexy people:

Not on this list? This is just the beginning, and it's not too late to help with this. The important part now is to send (and encourage others to send) comments to the SEC regarding this petition, which you can do once they give it a File No. and post it, hopefully this coming week. Stay tuned!
