In today’s Economic Democracy Weekly, we feature stories about economic justice undergirded with an ethic of care. We begin with an article on “compassionate lending,” which combines a community development financial institution with a community or faith-based partner, and compassion for the borrower. Next, a primer on limited equity housing cooperatives and how they can ensure long-term housing affordability for families. That’s followed by an article on a new coalition of unions in higher education and how they might help to restore colleges’ public mission. Lastly, we feature an article on how to improve mental health care in Latinx communities.
