In the spirit of collective care, NEC has closed our offices this week to recognize the impact that the pandemic and uprisings have had on our staff. Even though we’re out of the office, we still wanted to share a scaled-back Roundup with some of our favorite new economy stories from last week (7/16-7/23), new job listings, and upcoming events.
In the spirit of collective care, NEC is taking the week of July 27th off to recognize the impact that the pandemic and uprisings have had on our staff. NEC staff will not be responding to communications or posting to social media for this week. Thank you for your patience while we pause to prioritize rest and reflection over productivity in this moment.
This week we’re talking about models for reparations from the financial sector, renewed calls for rent cancellation and a People’s Bailout, a solidarity economy 101 primer, the Breathe Act and the upcoming Strike for Black Lives. We’re also celebrating our 2019-2020 cohort of New Economy Reporting Project fellows!
Please join us in celebrating our incredible 2019-2020 New Economy Reporting Project Fellows, who closed out their fellowship in early June.
This week, we’re lifting up movements for land-based reparations and a Black commons, growing calls to cancel rent and pass a Green Stimulus package that addresses the dual crises of coronavirus and climate change, solidarity with Palestine, a new report on the racial wealth gap during COVID-19, and more.
