Solidarity Economics Series: Power Building and Our Economy

Описание: Power is a critical piece of the equation when it comes to making the kind of economic systems change our communities need. Without the powerful voice of social movements demanding change, systems tend to continue benefiting those they always have. Listen in as CEMI organizational leaders and their partners Silvia Paz (Alianza Coachella Valley), Esmeralda Vazquez (Inland Empire Labor Institute), Michael Segura (Just San Bernardino), Daniela Flores, Dylan Castillo, Fernanda Vega (Imperial Valley Equity and Justice Coalition), Dr. Nosakhere Thomas (Inland Empire Black Worker Center), Lyzzeth Mendoza (Inland Coalition for Immigrant Justice), Ben Reynoso (San Bernardino City Council), and Jorge Osvaldo Heredia (Garcia Center for the Arts) talk about building and using community power towards changes in our economy.

The Community Economic Mobilization Initiative (CEMI) by The Center at Sierra Health Foundation works to equip and uplift community organizations through inclusive economic development in their communities, cities, and regions. In partnership with USC's Equity Research Institute and PolicyLink, the Institute for Social Transformation is supporting the technical assistance needs of these community organizations and helping to frame their work in the context of Solidarity Economics.
