#ClosingTheGap #EconomicJustice

Rob Robinson calls it like it is:
 Gentrification → Displacement → Homelessness → Criminalization.
After losing his home, he developed a powerful analysis of how the system was designed to fail communities of color.

Together, we’ll explore the deep roots of racial wealth disparities, the invisible role of marginalized workers, and strategies for economic justice.

Empty Homes = Big Profits

Investors don’t need you to rent, they just need the houses in their portfolio.
This is how we get skyrocketing rents, people without homes, and neighborhoods full of empty units.
🏠 It’s not a glitch. It’s the system.

Economists @profwolff.bsky.social and Clara Mattei of @che-utulsa.bsky.social discuss the connections between #austerity politics and #fascism! More on our @youtube channel! #economics #politics #democracy #democracyatwork #neoliberalism #capitalism #anticapitalism #labor #work #classwar

Our systems weren’t built for everyone.
 But they can be rebuilt, if we’re willing to look honestly at how we got here.
Let’s talk about what a different future could look like.

Who holds the power in our economy?
97% of us are employees.

Only 3% are employers.

That’s not a workplace stat
it’s a power structure.

We produce the wealth.

We follow the rules.

But we don’t make them.

🎙️ Richard Wolff breaks it down
Watch now & rethink the status quo!
youtu.be/cMEUtFEbwZI?si

This wasn't just economic.
It was legal.
Deliberate.
Generational.
💰 Wealth for some 🚫 Barriers for others
Let's name it. Let's change it.

📣 Join us on May 16 as we ask:
What does repair look like when the harm was legal?
🔗 RSVP: forms.office.com/r/e26vaJTfT6

We talk about wealth as if it's just the result of hard work. But for generations, wealth didn't trickle; it was hoarded.
It's not just about personal choices.
It's about policy history.

#WealthGap #SystemicInequality #EconomicJustice

We’re often told to pick sides: free market or government.
This isn’t a neutral economy.
It’s a political system that serves power.
The state doesn’t check the market. It serves it.
Not to protect people, but to extract from them.
#economicjustice #peopleoverprofit
#classpolitics

What would an economic system rooted in care look like?
Let’s imagine it, together.

Today is Karl Marx’s birthday. His ideas still challenge us to think bigger:
📌 Who does the system serve?
📌 What happens when profit matters more than people?

At CHE, we study the system behind the system and imagine what else is possible.

#KarlMarx #HeterodoxEconomics

🎉 We just hit 1,000 YouTube subscribers — thank you!

CHE is growing because people are hungry for conversations about power, policy, and possibility to make economics make sense for people, not profit.

#HeterodoxEconomics #EconomicsForThePeople

These aren’t broken systems.
They’re working as designed.
This conversation goes beyond stats.
It’s about truth, harm, repair and the future.

Happy #MayDay from all of us at @democracyatwork.bsky.social! Let's continue to build a world beyond capitalism! #democracyatwork #workersoftheworldunite #educate #agitate #organize #economics @coopjax.bsky.social @che-utulsa.bsky.social @redneckgonegreen.bsky.social @profwolff.bsky.social

Too often, we’re handed narratives that disempower us,
that hide the real forces shaping our lives.
We need courageous ways of seeing.
At CHE, we confront the urgent economic realities our society can no longer afford to ignore.

Understanding the systems that shape us is the first step toward changing them.
The future we deserve starts with asking different questions.
What if our systems were built for people, not profit?
Let’s imagine something better.

#CHEtulsa #RethinkEconomics #PeopleOverProfit #HeterodoxEconomics

Most people think economics is about charts and money.
But it’s really about how we live, work, and take care of each other.
Let's rethink what economics really means and who it should serve.

#CHEtulsa #RethinkEconomics #PeopleOverProfit #HeterodoxEconomics #EconomicJustice

The systems shaping our lives weren’t built by accident and don’t serve everyone equally.

Understanding how the world works is the first step to imagining a better future and building one that prioritizes people.

Losing Your Home Is the System Failing You

Rob Robinson debunks the myths.
 He’s been without a home. He’s not lazy. He’s not addicted. He’s not broken.
The system is. And that’s what needs to change.
