Real Power, Real Dignity: Closing Out a Fair Economy

Ana Gaeta, Communications Manager at the Workforce Development Council of Seattle-King County, and Deric Gruen, Lab Leader at People's Economy Lab, join City Cast Seattle Host Jane C. Hu on this final episode of Weaving Our Future: Stories for a Fair Economy to talk about what real dignity and real power look like for workers in King County. They dig into what happens when the Workforce Development Council hands people cash with no strings attached, how a group of renters in Brighton bought their own apartment building instead of getting pushed out, and the agency — the ability to choose your work, have a say in it, and share in what it produces — that ties both of their work together.
