The call from #8ToAbolition to "invest in community self governance" is a substantial and critical step forward in the evolution of demands for economic democracy and solidarity economies. I remember the M4BL platform a few year back had a set of pretty vague recommendations... to invest in participatory budgeting and worker cooperatives. Like our own work in NYC here around rebutting and defeating amazon, we in the economic democracy/solidarity economy/new economy etc spaces failed to show up with demands that were more than just alternative models. /2
