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

As federal threats swirl, we turn to power and promise closer to home. Today’s Economic Democracy Weekly features stories about organizing for economic justice at the community level. We begin with an article on housing justice—a story from Philadelphia on how nonprofits and advocates can resist the incursion of private equity and support homeownership by people of color ([link removed]) . Next, Elana Mainer, cofounder of Rural People’s Voice, offers lessons from an organizing effort in rural Washington state that led to progressive wins in conservative areas ([link removed]) . Then, how advocates in Massachusetts use decentralized autonomous organizations ([link removed]) to advance health and economic justice. Finally, we’re
offering an early bird special on our upcoming sector briefing ([link removed]) , “Advocacy in a Second Trump Administration: A Practical Guide for Leaders on Defending Progress and Advancing Justice” on February 20.
