Economic Democracy Weekly

Today’s Economic Democracy Weekly takes a deep dive into organizing for economic justice. First, Andre Perry kicks off a new series at NPQ, coproduced with Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC), on community strategies for systemic change. We also feature an article by NPQ’s Steve Dubb on a national conference in Atlanta, where racial and economic justice advocates discuss both ongoing challenges and organizing opportunities.

Relatedly, next door in Massachusetts, four graduate student employees at Boston University describe their growing organizing campaign for both union recognition and transit equity.
