How can we leverage the power of not only municipal governments, but regional economic development, state legislation, and national legislation to support economic democracy and shared ownership?

The panelists in this session draw on a wide range of research, policy, and activism to present a range of strategies and solutions from around the world that both analyze and propose policy and legislative regimes to bolster worker ownership, community land trusts, holistic economic development that measures well-being rather than growth, and solidarity economy ecosystems.
 
The purpose of this session is not to arrive at a categorical truth, but to examine the ways that different policy strategies draw on different theories of change, appeal to, and seek to mobilize, different interests and stakeholders, and can interact in positive and perhaps unanticipated ways.
