Great news from one of our favorite collaborators! Here's to all you will accomplish 🥂

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: https://t.co/9XYZm082dk

A wonderful profile on Hearken Collaborator @acjoughin! They are the Founder @makewithco + founding member of @Zebras_Unite @Oregonnewecon https://t.co/aE4UEuJ1cx

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!

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!

We can't wait!

Incredible! So grateful for all the hard work of @worker_owned and everyone who supported this bill.

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.

We will be @byUnfinished this week and then at the @NCBACLUSA IMPACT conference in Oct. Come find us to talk #democracybeyondelections, cooperative economic development, education for economic democracy and more!

"When we shift our perspective & begin to see our task as creating & cultivating democracy, more accessible & meaningful options become available to ordinary people." Read about deep democracy Thanks @acjoughin&@JenniferBrandel of @MakeWithCo&@wearehearken https://t.co/GlZ0gzLaVG

Participatory and community-led planning, budgeting, economic and community development is democracy in action!

"We believe that newsrooms have another critical role to play in strengthening American democracy: amplifying and modeling opportunities to practice democracy beyond the ballot box." @wearehearken & @MakeWithCo's take on #DemocracyDay https://t.co/G5P7EkmbZQ

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.
