Today’s Economic Democracy Weekly examines how who owns the economy must shift to achieve a more democratic economy. We begin with an article by co-op developer Omar Freilla that looks at how co-ops, backed by an ecosystem of support, can build ownership and wealth in Black communities. Next, Kyle Strickland of the Roosevelt Institute offers his vision for multiracial democracy rooted in material equity. Then Peter Sabonis highlights the role of community ownership and public ownership of finance in achieving housing justice. Lastly, we conclude with an article by Christina Houle, the latest entry in our series with Common Future, Narratives to Build Collective Economic Power, which highlights how the arts and Indigenous practices provide valuable tools for building community-centered economies.
