2025-8-26 Political Education Praxis Session #8: Community Wealth Building
This session of our Praxis Series will introduce attendees to “Community Wealth Building”, an economic development model to challenge capitalist hegemony in local economies and put control over essential resources into collective hands. Articulated by the Democracy Collaborative, this model seeks to reinvest economic flows back into the local economy and introduce democratic control over important aspects of our lives, including housing, employment, and more. Our session aims to assess whether the CWB model can inform an effective strategy for and vision of municipal socialism in our own towns.
