Community Wealth Candidates

Building a democratic Canadian economy around Worker Cooperatives, Community Land Trusts, and the progressive use of Anchor Institutions.

[Community Wealth Candidates @CWCandidates]

Landlords are destroying community staples through land value extraction.
Where they exist, Community Land Trusts are doing the opposite and saving them.
We need to enormously expand the latter and shrink the former.

Happy Canada Day!
Our economy should be democratized for our citizens, not made the plaything of giant and extractive absentee owners.
Politicians who say they love our country should prove it.
It's time to build community wealth.

Congratulations @avilewis, whom we endorsed, on winning the NDP leadership on the first ballot!
We were thrilled Avi directly supported Community Wealth Building in his campaign.
We hope this leads to a stronger push for CWB in Canada at a time when it is needed more than ever.

We're thrilled to endorse @avilewis for leader of the federal NDP.
We're especially glad see Avi's bold platform includes two of our top federal priorities since we started in 2021: a Right of First Refusal for workers and a National Worker Ownership Fund!
