** Economic Democracy Weekly
------------------------------------------------------------
Today’s Economic Democracy Weekly highlights community-level economic justice organizing. We begin with an Economy Remix article that examines what it would mean to treat investment capital as a tool to build community power. The following article describes a social justice nonprofit as a community in miniature—and tells the story of how people in that community came to the decision to establish 40 weeks of paid parental leave as a workplace benefit. Lastly, we feature two video clips on community building—one that focuses on the role of trust and one on the importance of forging intergenerational connections to advance a solidarity economy.
