With more of our local businesses closing without a succession plan or being bought out by corporate firms — we need solutions to help our businesses transition!
The “Opportunity for Employee Ownership Act” introduced by Rep. @JenStewartRI, offers a promising alternative!

Happy 2 year anniversary to "Economics for Emancipation" being released!
Since then, it has been downloaded thousands of times and we have talked to media like @npquarterly, @LeverNews and @DougHenwood!
Next week, we're recording new modules on the politics of finance 🤑
New year, new world! We can’t change systems or challenge power until we understand them and organize locally. Take our free 7 module course on capitalism, solidarity and how we get free! It’s a first step.

Excellent editorial, @BostonGlobe! "The zoning board should reconsider and approve the project. If it doesn’t, city officials should work closely with the birth center to expeditiously find new land that meets its needs." #bospoli bostonglobe.com/2025/03/10/o…
