People’s Economy Lab
The youth at I Have a Future shared alternatives to meet their spiritual and community belonging, as well as food and health needs. This included imagining a community center with extended hours where young people could hangout and build community. They also reimagined a grocery store with affordable, healthy fruits and vegetables and home-cooked hot foods that were reflective of their cultures.

This curriculum is an excellent grounding in the economy for folks that care to transform it. It showed our group the ways in which the people actually have power over the economy and can use economics as a tool for changing our lives. After running through the course I actually showed my mom the video about care work and reproductive labor. Because of it, we had some really important conversations about her life experiences and the things she wants to change about the ways she labors for others.

What a great educational piece not only for our youth, but also for our staff. I think in building and working with CED and source material from Movement Generation, it created some wonderful opportunities to learn beyond what we are normally exposed to. While we haven’t followed up this first round pilot, we are looking forward to modifying and adapting as we delve into our curriculum structure in the next couple of years. Big shout out to CED for their support and guidance around this work!
