I am attending the Policy Link Equity Summit in Detroit Michigan this week and meeting with international colleagues at the Global Roundtable for Community Change.  You can follow this summit on Twitter @policylink and #equity11.  It is inspiring to hear how equity is an economic imperitive and 'superior growth model'. 

Policy Link has published a provocative new report - Equity:  The Superior Growth Model which you can access here - http://www.policylink.org/site/c.lkIXLbMNJrE/b.5136441/k.BD4A/Home.htm. 

There are lessons to be learned in times of economic crisis and if we don't figure out how to leverage lessons of the dark times - we will continually repeat them.
