** Economic Democracy Weekly
------------------------------------------------------------
We often write here about the solidarity economy. This week, we bring three examples of this work taking place in real time. Our lead Economy Remix story details a six-year organizing campaign culminating in the opening of a food co-op in a Black neighborhood of West Dayton, Ohio, last month. A second article outlines a proposal to boost immigrant businesses by enhancing existing community self-financing structures. We also feature a story that traces the rise of the now nonprofit-owned Indian Country Today from its seeming demise four years ago. Lastly, we highlight a 2019 webinar that examined a co-op in a Black neighborhood in Greensboro, North Carolina that fell short. Why do this? For one, to remember that building a democratic economy is not easy, but also because that co-op spawned many imitators, including in Dayton, whose members are building on the path Greensboro helped lay.
