Today’s special Economic Democracy newsletter highlights eight selected articles from the first seven months of 2024. We begin with the work of Sulma Arias and Manuel Pastor on how social justice philanthropy can boost movement power. We also offer articles from each of three published series this year—1) The Vision for Black Lives: An Economic Policy Agenda, 2) Ending Work Requirements, and 3) Just Transition: Liberating Finance to Build a Better World. We also feature an article from Puerto Rico on how a nonprofit scrambled to find match money for federal funds, and, from Denver, a story on organizing a resident-owned mobile home park. Lastly from NPQ’s latest magazine on Escaping Corporate Capture, we offer two articles: one about what corporate capture is and how to escape it, and another on how workers are organizing to leverage their pension dollars for public benefit.
