Curious about economic democracy? Interested in journalism's role in (closing or) opening up new social and economic possibilities?
Our founder @acjoughin sat down with the good folks at @soljourno last week to discuss the solutions coming out of the economic democracy space!
Have you been hearing more and more about the idea of "economic democracy" while reporting on responses to economic and racial equity? But what does it mean? I talked to @acjoughin for @soljourno's economic mobility newsletter this week! Take a look:

It's been so rad to witness & work with @acjoughin. @wearehearken & partners have benefitted from Aria's incredible skills, brain and passion for economic democracy, as has @Zebras_Unite. They're someone to know, & work w/ via @MakeWithCo! https://t.co/DOf1oIdxqM
Starting MakeWith took more than a little courageous intention. We couldn't have done it without the support of our friends in the @Zebras_Unite movement. 🦓✨
Today is all about exploring the 6th cooperative principle: cooperation among cooperatives with @CoopMgmt. It's been a treat hearing from folks who are working to strengthen cooperative ecosystems with economic and social collaboration.
And we're off! Last night was the start of the Cooperative Leaders and Scholars program @NCBACLUSA office. It promises to be a week of great discussions and connections!
As we continue with our coverage of the 2022 Cooperative Impact Conference this Thursday at 10:30 am ET we'll have @MakeWithCo's @acjoughin, Isa Fernández, Mike Seo @Shared_Capital & Vincent Mao a graduate of @LiberalArtsUT. They'll be discussing components of the (CLS) Program
Constantly humbled by the incredible work @LoveNowMedia is doing. These spaces for grief, healing, and connection are absolutely essential for realizing the more just and democratic futures we're dreaming of.
CultureWorks Member, @LoveNowMedia presents Heart of the Story, where Black male leaders are coming together to hold space for men & boys to process their grief, healing, pain & trauma in a safe space.❤️

Excellent resource on the relationship between journalism and democracy.
Community media are the bridge between governments and the many populations and voters who often remain under-engaged in the electoral system.
