Join us to explore economic system change from multiple vantage points: including community-based economic development, electoral organizing, and group facilitation—with an eye to identifying unexpected intersections and areas of alignment. For this discussion, our panelists are: **Sendolo Diaminah** is co-director of Carolina Federation, a statewide group that combines electoral work with base-building local grassroots community organizing. In 2020, the group organized its first campaigns in four North Carolina counties. **Lela Klein** is co-executive director of Co-op Dayton, a nonprofit incubator of cooperatives. Klein was part of a team that engaged in a 6-year-long co-op organizing campaign that culminated in May 2021 opening of Gem City Market, a food co-op in West Dayton, a primarily Black neighborhood. **Tuesday Ryan-Hart** is cofounder and system change strategist for The Outside, a social change consultancy that helps build infrastructure for equitable systems change and which works with a wide range of groups across the globe in areas such as employment policy, hunger alleviation, homelessness, and refugee assistance. This webinar will explore: - What are leading barriers to changing economic systems, even at the local level? What are some effective techniques for overcoming those barriers? - How does one go about organizing a facilitated process to engage in equitable systems change? What are some key questions to ask going in? - What does base-building organizing involve in practice? How does it differ from traditional voter mobilization strategies? - What are the elements that enable a community to sustain a community economic development campaign over multiple years? - What factors go into the choice of tactics (e.g., inside v. outside strategies)? - What tools can people use to map the terrain and gain a better sense of where and how to act? - What are some examples where organizing has led to major economic changes? What are some of the factors that led to those successes? - What steps can nonprofits and philanthropy take to support economic systems change work? Whether you’re a social movement activist, nonprofit leader, board member, or engaged in community-based organizing, this webinar will provide you with real-life examples and lessons learned that can inform your work in your own community. The moderator for this webinar is *NPQ* senior editor and economic justice program director **Steve Dubb**. Steve has worked with cooperatives and nonprofits for over two decades and has been both a student and practitioner in the field of community economic development.   You can send your questions to [editorinchief@npqmag.org](mailto:editorinchief@npqmag.org) to have them answered during the web event.
