“The Center for Economic Democracy [C.E.D.] is a US social movement-building organization, growing the capacity of grassroots communities to transform American capitalism into a more just, sustainable and democratic economy. C.E.D. engages progressive donors, private sector leaders and government officials to support popular organizing, economic development and cultural activism in our most vulnerable communities. C.E.D. harnesses the cooperative, creative and productive impulses of our communities to build a new economy that is governed for the people, and by the people.”
