This week’s Economic Democracy newsletter highlights resistance strategies and efforts to build democratic alternatives that can change the set of economic rights or “social contract” that people have. First, we examine a major economic justice policy shift in Minnesota—and its possible national implications. Our second article looks at how a nonprofit-led childcare business incubator can boost community childcare options for families. Next, we feature a conversation with three field leaders on how to resist structural racism and corporate power. Lastly, we encourage you to attend our upcoming free webinar on how tenants are organizing for housing justice.
