To advance economic justice, we need an accurate picture of how things are, but often economic processes are hidden from view. In this week’s Economic Democracy newsletter, our lead story identifies how practices like credit scoring and appraisals reinforce structural racism—and calls for systemic change. We also conclude our series with Hispanics in Philanthropy (HIP); the story features an interview of two migrant justice advocates, one based in Arizona and one in the Mexican state of Chiapas, both of whom work daily to counter often hidden state violence by building community. We also include a short article that looks at a group in New York City that’s asking, “What if we didn’t rely on billionaires to fund our art museums?” Lastly, a video clip from a recent webinar calls on us to reimagine federal housing policy.
