In today’s Economic Democracy Weekly, we offer four stories of economic justice organizing at the state and local level. First, our latest entry in our series Defying the Odds: How Southern Workers Organize looks at worker-led organizing at dollar stores in Louisiana. This is followed by a story on community organizing against tax increment financing to restore $40 billion to support schools and services in Chicago. Next, a story about how immigrant rideshare drivers are building a social cooperative in Denver, CO. Lastly, an article on residents advocating for equitable disaster recovery in Asheville, NC.
