Today’s Economic Democracy Weekly turns to wide-reaching efforts to transform institutions and the economy, what holds them back, and how they can overcome the status quo. Our first article reviews a recent report on how few members of Congress hold student debt, a potential cause for federal inaction. Our next article reports on a conference panel featuring university leaders on shifting university practices to advance economic justice in higher education. Our third piece asks how philanthropy can help better distribute federal funding to communities impacted by the climate crisis. These stories are followed by a video clip that offers a model to build wealth for renters and change the extractive nature of real estate.
