Today’s Economic Democracy Weekly takes a closer look at the way the United States’ current economic system creates struggle—and what people are doing to change it. We begin with an interview with activist and author Astra Taylor on how capitalism makes us insecure and why we must transform the economy for our collective safety. Next, two leaders in women’s funds argue that philanthropy and the federal government must address the child care crisis affecting working families. Then, a webinar clip about the many obstacles involved with organizing for housing justice. Lastly, Carmen Rojas encourages foundations to join in supporting the growing movement to align public institutions and public dollars with public good.
