to solve some of our nation's greatest social and economic challenges.
According to campaign Founder and Organizer Rev. Delman Coates, "We
seek to build a diverse, grassroots, bi-partisan movement that endeavors to
address poverty, wealth concentration, unemployment, affordable housing, health
care, public education, the climate crisis, and household debt. We
recognize in Modern Monetary Theory (MMT), a credible, highly impressive, and
genuinely public-spirited alternative to the disastrous economic stewardship
offered by the old guard of the economics profession that brought us the Great
Recession and continues to prioritize the private interests of the financial
sector over the public good. We want to help ensure that the debate reaches the
broader public through outreach and organizing rather than being confined to
the Academy, the financial press, and op-ed pages. Go to
www.ourmoneyus.org. Email tscales@ourmoneyus.org.

Baltimore’s
public school system faces a host of challenges: declining enrollment, aging
buildings, a lack of adequate funding for facilities and student learning, a
decline in numbers of black teachers, and violence that too often spills from
the community into classrooms. But, for the first time in two decades, there’s
new leadership at the helm of the Baltimore Teachers Union, representing some
7,000 teachers, paraprofessionals, and school personnel in Baltimore City.
The
Union We Deserve coalition won a hotly contested election in May by pledging to
improve learning and working conditions for students and teachers, while
battling austerity and privatization. Middle school teacher and longtime
activist Diamonté Brown is the new president. See https://www.facebook.com/events/680777105776056/.
