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

In today’s Economic Democracy Weekly, we feature stories about crisis, community, and economic justice. We begin with a firsthand account of the fires in Los Angeles ([link removed]) and what that experience teaches us about the power and limitations of mutual aid. Next, an article on worker unionization at the nation’s largest co-op retailer, REI, reveals a crisis of co-op representation ([link removed]) —will union advocates win seats on the co-op’s board? This article is followed by an analysis of a workforce development crisis ([link removed]) that leaves 4.7 million Americans between the ages of 16 and 24 both out of school and unemployed—and offers some examples of community-led efforts that can mend this gap. Finally, we want
to hear from you: please submit your stories ([link removed]) of how you have stood up for economic justice in the workplace for our column, "We Stood Up."
