Building an Inclusive Democracy with Afua Atta-Mensah of Community Change

For this installment of the Redacted History Podcast, I sat down with the ever knowledgeable Afua Atta-Mensah, the Director of Programs at Community Change. In this episode we discuss what an inclusive democracy looks like, how history impacts the present, and how you can get build coalitions and get active in your community going forward. Community Change is a nonprofit organization founded in 1968 at the height of the civil rights movement by leaders of the civil rights and anti poverty movements. They fight for economic freedom, a care economy that allows families. Providers, and communities to access care, and an immigrant inclusive multiracial democracy. They believe that unless we can find a path toward an immigrant-inclusive multiracial democracy, the number of Americans excluded from basic social and economic protections will continue to increase, and conflicts over rights and resources will tear us apart.
