Economic Democracy Weekly

Today’s Economic Democracy Weekly looks at how civic infrastructure can advance economic justice. We begin with a call to organize at the level of local community politics. Next, our series Building Wealth for the Next Generation: The Promise of Baby Bonds concludes with an article by Connecticut’s state Treasurer Erick Russell on building and sustaining a policy framework that makes long-term investments in children—seeding accounts at birth to reduce the racial wealth gap. This is followed by an article examining how advocates within universities are seeking to transform these institutions to serve as the civic infrastructure that, in theory, they are supposed to be. Lastly, from last month’s webinar on liberatory finance, a clip from panelist Jaime Gloshay on changing bank underwriting rules and rematriating finance to benefit Native communities.
