[Oe List ...] FW: Sneak Peek: The Good Money Issue from Lynda C

[Randy Williams]

Lynda,
I had seen this article and what the writer says is true. But what is not true is that the only local influence that effects change is government, which the article seems to imply. Some are saying there’s a new movement underway being referred to as “localism” or “the new localism.” It operates at the local community level and represents a coalition of local citizens from government, business, and the social sector. They are focused on practical solutions to local problems and getting things done. Hence, whatever political differences they may have never come into play, thus avoiding the gridlock we currently have in the federal government and most state governments. David Brooks had a piece on this a few weeks ago in the  NYT, and there’s a new book out called The New Localism.

> CO-OPS ARE a billion-dollar industry. Dating back to the end of slavery, Black communities in the U.S. have used them as a means of self-determination and to build wealth. But it’s simply not enough. One hundred fifty years after emancipation, Black Americans still own less than 1 percent of the wealth in this country. In our upcoming Good Money issue, we explore opportunities to close the wealth gap and move some of our biggest pots of money into communities that need it.
