An open letter to Congress, plus special webinar on nationalization Thursday The latest from The Next System Project *Now is the time for a green stimulus * <https://community-wealth.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e51d2c7d40bc9992285e71110&id=8d8a8098a3&e=8155f3738d> The historic emergency economic package that Congress and the White House has put together this week will help address urgent crises created by the COVID-19 epidemic, but it is only a first step. Healing the economy long term means not restoring the structural conditions that caused the economy to fall ill long before the novel coronavirus swept the globe. This week The Next System Project's climate and energy program co-director Johanna Bozuwa joined a group of experts and activists in authoring an open letter to Congress calling for "a green stimulus to rebuild the economy." It calls on the Congress to enact a long-term plan that does not "restore—or even deepen—our reliance on fossil fuels" but instead "protects us from the impact of climate change and lifts up workers and frontline communities."

This Thursday, join us for a one-hour webinar roundtable featuring journalists Kate Aronoff and Alexander Sammon, professor and author Robert Hockett, and Next System Project research director Thomas Hanna. Together we will explore the surprising history of nationalization in the US, the demands currently on the table, and what we need to know in order to make sure nationalization is used to make a more democratic economy.

As they write, "In recent times, our media have spectacularly failed as our early warning system; failing to warn us of financial collapse, the rise of white militants, misogynist predators, ecological disaster, and the likely blowback effects of our wars abroad. ... If ever there was a time to build broad support for redefining journalism as a public good, this is that moment."
