Following the release of Power Play: How Monopolies Leverage Systemic Racism to Dominate Markets, and What We Can Do to Democratize Economic Power, the Institute for Local Self-Reliance is hosting a virtual event with leading experts and advocates to discuss how monopoly power and structural racism are interwoven, and why targeting structural racism is essential to dismantling monopoly power.
The panel will dig into the ways dominant corporations leverage structural racism to eliminate competition and control markets and how policies that help to repair that harm realize the vision of America’s antimonopoly tradition — to democratize economic power and build open and fair markets. Panelists and speakers include:
- Sabeel Rahman, Professor of Law | Cornell Law School and formerly Associate Administrator at the Office of Management and Budget’s Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs [Opening Remarks and Moderator]
- Jeremie Greer, Co-Executive Director | Liberation in a Generation
- Susan Holmberg, Associate Director for Research | Institute for Local Self-Reliance
- Lauren Jacobs, Executive Director | PowerSwitch Action
- Gabrielle Rejouis, Senior Fellow | Workers’ Rights Institute and Georgetown University Law Center
