Today’s Economic Democracy Weekly looks at the interplay of national trends and community action. The latest entry in our series with Prosperity Now on The Promise of Targeted Universalism: Community Leaders Respond takes us to the Mississippi Delta, where a community lender has provided needed capital to thousands of BIPOC families; new federal resources promise to expand this kind of work throughout the country, but only if used well. A second article examines housing, often seen as a local issue, yet Federal Reserve policy is boosting housing costs across the board. Lastly, we feature two voices from a movement that is rising from the ashes of a decaying national media landscape and is using community-based media as a tool for economic justice.
