In this week’s New Economy Roundup, we’re talking about justice for Breonna Taylor, why big pharma exacerbates racial health inequities and how democratic public ownership offers a remedy, cooperative approaches to education and childcare, an intro to the solidarity economy, and lessons about just recovery and community-led disaster relief on the third anniversary of Hurricane Maria.
This week we’re talking about the escalating climate emergencies across the country, the CDC eviction moratorium, and a radical new show on public television. Plus, an Indigenous-led food exchange network in Costa Rica, a Works Progress Administration for the people, funding for arts co-ops, today’s Worker Cooperative Conference, and more.
This week we’re talking about calls to reclaim public medicine for public health, the 15th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, peer-to-peer lending, the upcoming Worker Co-op Conference, a new fund to support Black self-determination in the South, this week’s NBA and WNBA strikes in defense of Black lives, and more.
This week we’re talking about legislation to make the ultra-wealthy pay for COVID-19 relief, growing people’s budget movements, plans for a feminist economic recovery, a new anti-facist platform co-op in Brazil, and more. Plus, Beautiful Solutions: a Toolbox for Liberation is available for pre-order!
In the spirit of collective care, NEC has closed our offices this week to recognize the impact that the pandemic and uprisings have had on our staff. Even though we’re out of the office, we still wanted to share a scaled-back Roundup with some of our favorite new economy stories from last week (7/16-7/23), new job listings, and upcoming events.
