** Economic Democracy Weekly
------------------------------------------------------------

In today’s Economic Democracy Weekly, we dive into why economic change is difficult. This begins with a look at Joe Biden’s administration and how economic change rhetoric obscured social benefit backsliding ([link removed]) . Next, in our latest Truth to Power interview, Dr. Jessica Gordon Nembhard, author of Collective Courage, discusses how Black co-op organizers have had to regularly overcome repression to pursue their cooperative visions of economic justice ([link removed]) . This is followed by the second installment ([link removed]) in our series on Building Wealth for the Next Generation: The Promise of Baby Bonds, which considers how to advance long-term policy to reduce the nation’s racial wealth gap. Lastly, an “Economy Remix”
article examines what community lenders have learned over the past four decades—and where the CDFI movement ([link removed]) might go today.
