📡Tune into this discussion organized by @Graeber_social>> Featuring @ChallengeIneq's own Hannah Appel along with Michael Hudson & @ProfSteveKeen, this brilliant trio explores how the legacies of imperialism & debt continue to shape the world order.
@Graeber_social .To our public talk: I really appreciate Debt Collective’s pragmatic approach — building practices of solidarity and local self-organization. The truth is, everyone is in debt: landlords owe the banks, tenants owe the landlords. But unless we change the system

As a reporter, I'm a bit reluctant to rely on academic studies about things you can know by just talking to people in your community. But among the authors of this one is @VeniceJustice1, which includes Peggy Lee Kennedy, who's helped ppl clear vehicles citations for 20+ years.
