In today’s Economic Democracy Weekly, we feature efforts to change the rules to achieve economic justice. The latest article in our economic justice series in Indian Country calls for rewriting the rules regarding Native American “trust” lands. Meanwhile, our solidarity economy series looks at why a universal basic income policy could be a critical rule change for shifting economic structures at large. We also include this week a retrospective from two organizers on Occupy Wall Street—a political movement that began 10 years ago with the occupation of Zuccotti Park and ended up creating new rules for economic justice organizing. Lastly, we feature a photojournalism article that shows workers changing the rules and becoming their own bosses through a diverse range of worker-owned cooperatives.
