Dominic, who brings a deep history of community organizing in Washington, DC, will help to map the existing landscape of community organizing groups and enterprise developers who are advancing the movement for a democratic economy. This information will help to inform us on how best to support the growth of a democratic economy from the perspective of the grassroots. <a href="https://community-wealth.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e51d2c7d40bc9992285e71110&id=2094325d88&e=4937bbce51" style="color:#007c89;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">Dr. Obery Hendricks joins as a Senior Fellow for Faith, Power, and the Democratic Economy</a>, and will advance our work around engaging faith leaders, and outlining the role that religion, faith, and theology can play in shifting the public’s moral imagination about the political economy. <br>
<br>
In September, The Democracy Collaborative co-sponsored this year’s The World Transformed festival, which occurs alongside the UK Labour Party’s annual conference. Among the panels TDC helped support were several on community wealth building as well as a panel on municipalism featuring Kali Akuno, Debbie Bookchin, Frans Bieckmann, Elif Sarican, and Osman Baydemir. We also co-hosted an event with local Councillors and others interested in community wealth building, which included Shadow Secretary of State for Local Government and Communities Andrew Gwynne, North of Tyne Mayor Jamie Driscoll, Islington Cabinet Member Asima Shaikh, Preston City Council Leader Matthew Brown, and Sarah McKinley, TDC’s Director of European Programs.<br>
<br>
During their conference, the Labour Party announced a number of exciting new policies, many related to TDC’s work on democratizing ownership and control. Read a piece from Research Director Thomas Hanna and Policy Associate Peter Gowan on Labour’s backing the concept of Universal Basic Services in <a href="https://community-wealth.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e51d2c7d40bc9992285e71110&id=4d425f5f05&e=4937bbce51" style="color:#007c89;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none" target="_blank"><em>Tribune Magazine</em></a><em>. </em>On this side of the Atlantic, Senator and Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders recently released a plan for “Corporate Accountability and Democracy” which includes a proposal for Democratic Employee Ownership Funds.

The recent power outage crisis in California</span>—<span style="font-size:14px">due in part to PG&E’s failure to maintain adequate and safe infrastructure</span>—<span style="font-size:14px">has highlighted the many shortcomings of profit-driven, investor-owned utilities. Co-Manager of Climate & Energy Programs Johanna Bozuwa recently published a piece in <a href="https://community-wealth.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e51d2c7d40bc9992285e71110&id=2c1f8be07e&e=4937bbce51" style="color:#007c89;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:none" target="_blank"><em>The Nation</em></a> outlining the need for a new energy model based on public and community ownership, a resilient grid, and renewable energy.

<br>
Democratized finance will be key to executing a green and just transition away from fossil fuels. This new report from The Next System Project proposes the creation of a green infrastructure bank that can catalyze a Green New Deal and the transition to a more ecologically sustainable future that would otherwise be impossible under the short-term, high-return regime of private finance. The proposal explains how the bank would be structured to meet triple bottom line goals of facilitating the green and just transition, financial sustainability, and democratic decision-making.

<br>
This report from the Haas Institute for a Fair and Inclusive Society at UC Berkeley discusses the historic roots of racialized housing inequality in the San Francisco Bay Area. The report outlines how state policy from the 1850s to the present codifies segregation and displacement, from violent dispossession to exclusionary real estate practices. The report makes the case that the current housing crisis is not natural, but the result of purposeful policy and tactics, and calls on readers to reimagine the role that local jurisdictions can play in reversing these trends.

Funded by the Surdna Foundation and a project of GreenRoots, the Everett Community Health Partnership (ECHP), Research Action Design (RAD), and MIT CoLab, this set of multimedia toolkits provides resources that organizers and residents can use to fight displacement in their communities. While geared towards Boston residents, the toolkit’s activities, how-to guides, facilitation plans, and other resources can be adapted to other geographies.
