Today’s Economic Democracy Weekly focuses on the importance of building new systems for economic justice. We begin with an article by leaders at Boston Ujima Project, who share how a group of organizations rooted in historic Black community organizing are developing new economic models. Next, to advance affordable housing across the United States, we must start with smaller-scale projects. Then, Ben Manski argues that to go beyond capitalism, we have to align scholarship with social movements. Finally, this month’s We Stood Up, our column on workplace organizing, features a freelancer on how coworkers came together for fair pay by designing new standards.
