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

In today’s Economic Democracy Weekly, we examine how stories of liberation can advance economic justice. First, in our latest Truth to Power ([link removed]) interview, Shanelle Matthews and Marzena Zukowska, the two lead editors of Liberation Stories: Building Narrative Power for 21st Century Social Movements, reflect on what narrative change strategies can achieve—and how narrative change connects with movement-based and electoral organizing ([link removed]) . We follow that with an excerpt from their book, outlining what a comprehensive narrative power-building framework looks like ([link removed]) . Next, narrative practitioners, scholars, and creatives offer some pointers on how to use storytelling to advance justice
([link removed]) . We close with an analysis of how community economic development can advance liberation ([link removed]) .
