To kick off the New Year, today’s Economic Democracy Weekly provides a call-back to a series last year that focused both on busting myths about rural America and offering multiple paths towards eradicating multigenerational rural poverty. We begin with an article on how community finance can support rural wealth building. Next, a story about changing economic justice narratives in rural America. This is followed by an article that lays out the importance of rural communities being at the policy table. Finally, we close with a story emerging from colonias in South Texas about new forms of housing development that can meet rural families’ needs.
