Today’s Economic Democracy Weekly centers on the intersection of race, economics, and policy. An article by Dedrick Asante-Muhammad explains how and why race neutrality has failed the field of community economic development—and issues a call for a race-conscious approach instead. The latest entry in our series with Prosperity Now on The Promise of Targeted Universalism: Community Leaders Respond delves into the diversity of economic assets and needs of the nation’s many distinct Latinx communities. Another article examines the role of base-building organizing in advancing economic and racial justice. Lastly, we feature a webinar where three leaders share experiences from their own advocacy and movement-building work.
