Today’s Economic Democracy Weekly highlights efforts to change economic structures in the direction of justice. We begin with a timely article about a bill in Congress that would expand the child tax credit, benefitting millions of children—it is a positive first step, but more must be done. Next, in the fourth installment in our series, The Vision for Black Lives: An Economic Policy Agenda, we look at participatory budgeting as a tool for constructing multiracial democracy. After that, we offer an article on why challenging excessive wealth is necessary to achieve structural economic change. Lastly, in a webinar conversation, five community leaders discuss how to build a solidarity economy at the local and regional levels.
