Today’s Economic Democracy Weekly offers tools to empower movements to advance economic justice. We begin with a story from Atlanta, which uses economic data to identify structural racial inequality—and crafts policy to change that. Next comes an article on a student strike movement for culturally relevant free public higher education in 1969 that has lessons for activists today. That’s followed by an article on how to build knowledge of democratic economic practices through online popular education. Last, we launch a new regular column called Truth to Power, featuring conversations with writers on the promises and pitfalls of movements for social justice. First up we talk with Malaika Jabali who discusses her writing on race, class, and politics.
