In today’s Economic Democracy Weekly, we feature stories about the need for economic justice advocates to resist contemporary threats and build for the future. We begin with an Economy Remix profiling three foundations’ long-term efforts to invest in alignment with their missions. Next, we launch a new recurring column, The State of Our Movements: first up, US solidarity economy organizers. This is followed by two articles that highlight how efforts at mass firings affect people’s lives. First, an article on the tens of billions of dollars at stake in the Trump administration’s effort to shutter the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Then, how faith-based nonprofits are resistant to massive cuts to refugee support programs.
