“Billionaires don’t stimulate the economy. You do,” Miranda reminds us during the conversation. We hold power through our labor, spending and relationships.
Throughout the conversation, panelists discuss mutual aid networks, labor organizing, food systems, neighborhood relationships and digital platforms that help people recognize shared struggles, pointing to the long tradition of communities relying on cooperation, shared resources and solidarity to meet needs systems and institutions fail to address.
