Eric Glass

Eric Glass is an impact and activist investor, founder of Clarion Call Capital and co-founder of the Investors Circle Toward Decarceration. He spearheads fixed income municipal bond investment and engagement strategies to help reduce disparity in the built environment and reverse decades, if not centuries, of disinvestment in excluded and under-resourced communities.

In addition, Eric was a member of AB’s firmwide Responsible Investment Steering Committee, Corporate Social Responsibility Working Group, and Controversial Investments Committee. 

Agent for Social Change: Eric is the co-founder of the Investors Circle Toward Decarceration (ICTD), a group of investors and advocates seeking to starve the prison industrial complex of funding across asset classes leading to decarceration and, aspirationally, abolition. He has served in advisory and non-profit roles in various environmental and social domains but all connected to improving the lives of individuals from under-resourced and disinvested communities.  

Eric continues to work toward the rematriation of Native Hawaiian water rights with the Maui ESG Project, promote just and sustainable economic development in Pittsburgh with the Chord Community Fund and more generally across the country with Justice Capital, contributing to the reduction in the racial wealth gap through initiatives like baby bonds with Darrick Hamilton and The Institute of Race, Power, and Political Economy, as well as consulting with RFK Human Rights around capital market advocacy and activism all in pursuit of a more just, humane world.
