THE CT CENTER FOR
ECONOMIC DEMOCRACY
CT CED
Pursuing Justice, Power and Property for the Voiceless, Hopeless and Downtrodden.
“Poverty Anywhere, Is a Threat to Prosperity everywhere.”
Welcome to the new website and knowledge center of The CT Center for Economic Democracy at www.GHCESJ.org. The Greater Hartford Center for Economic and Social Justice is a non-profit educational organization and community-focused social action catalyst, that has launched the CT Center for Economic Democracy to better educate our residents about the free market reforms that will revitalize CT’s urban economies
GHCESJ was formed in 2019 to promote and educate all citizens on the fundamental principles of Economic Justice and Social Justice. Our mission is to encourage participatory systemic change based on the philosophy of “Personalism”, based on the dignity and empowerment of each human person.
We are dedicated to real equal economic opportunity, free enterprise growth model that targets the roots of poverty, racism, greed and other violations of fundamental human rights. Our initiatives will be designed to benefit not only descendants of American slaves but every child, woman and man, including descendants of Native Americans, descendants of Immigrants, and descendants of American slave owners, i.e., every American.

Our motto is “Own or Be Owned.”
Equality of economic opportunity means more than simply having jobs and welfare. It means that every person should have the equal right and opportunity to be both a worker (owning one’s own labor) and a capital owner (owning one’s own wealth-producing land, advanced productive technologies and other productive assets).
Being an owner means being able to contribute through both your labor and your capital to — and receive your share of earnings from — the production of marketable goods and services sold within a just, free and non-monopolistic market system.
However, to achieve a more participatory and just market economy we must lift artificial barriers in the Monetary, Political and Legal Systems that prevent most people in the world from access to private property (the rights of ownership) in productive capital.
CT CED is committed to lifting barriers to universal and equal access to future ownership opportunities. If we don’t lift these barriers the rich will simply become richer, and the rest of us will remain trapped as wage slaves, welfare slaves, charity slaves and consumer debt slaves.
Change the system, spread the power to the people.
There is a way out of this trap, a way that doesn’t require taking income and wealth from the “haves” and giving to the “have-nots.” People without savings can and have become owners through equal personal access to insured capital credit through tax-sheltered trusts repayable with the full pretax stream of future profits.
This can be achieved without government redistribution or taxpayer money. Through major monetary, financial, tax, inheritance, education and labor law reforms America (and all nations) could encourage faster, non-inflationary and environmentally sound rates of growth at all local, national, regional and global levels with radically reduced needs for ever-increasing government deficits. We call our program for economically empowering every citizen, the “Economic Democracy Act.”
In Hartford, CT, we believe this means Neighborhood Revitalization Zones should take the lead on redeveloping their neighborhoods in accordance with the consensus of the residents. CT CED is committed to working with any NRZ that wishes to move forward to redevelop their neighborhoods. CT CED will provide technical support to any NRZ that wishes to truly empower their residents to become owners of new development in their neighborhood.

Our Vision
Our Vision for hartford and CT
We envision a future for Hartford where poverty is a relic of the past. Where the systemic causes of urban violence have been uprooted and replaced by a system that promotes Hope, Peace, Prosperity, and Freedom for all citizens of Hartford and the world. Where the vast gap in wealth, economic power and opportunity closes between the rich and poor, as access to new capital ownership opportunities opens up to every person and family. Where people are no longer dependent upon government for their survival and people have the means (productive capital) to provide for themselves and their families.
Government
We envision a government that works with and for the people. Our aspirations are not motivated by political party, but by the desire to establish a system that promotes social and economic justice for all. We advocate adapting existing laws for our ever changing society so that we will meet the current and future needs of both businesses and citizens. We advocate to establish a system that is not beholden to special interest groups, but one that is based upon economic justice.
Business
The growth of business and industry are essential to society. Entrepreneurship and intellectual development are essential to creating a thriving society. However, current economic dynamics dictate that to in order to succeed you must consume all competing forces around you. We believe business is best suited as a engine to society, not as a destructive force against it.
why we need you
Creating a new paradigm is a little bit like the Wild West. In the beginning there is a lot of potential, but the rules can seem convoluted and vague at best. Protecting an idea can be a arduous undertaking. We seek pioneers to become capital homesteaders of this new business marketplace. This venture requires the collaborative effort of business, government and citizens to expose the inequities in our current economic system. Our work will bring forward a better system that protects and promotes social justice by creating a diverse foundation of economic equity.
citizens
Citizens are a country's greatest asset or its worse curse. When we move together as unified group we can accomplish brilliant and dynamic events. In today's society, we tend to be more focused on destroying and dominating others. We seem to have lost our compassion and humanity. The erosion of business and government ethics has become so pervasive that we can’t remember having ever lived without constant distrust and turmoil.
Our BUSINESS STRATEGY
To create a business marketplace designed to return wealth to its citizens. This concept is still a new and fierce frontier that requires support from all three systems (business, government and citizens). We recognize that our collective vision and goals are deeply entrenched in the profitability and success of the business marketplace. The particularities of this venture require the establishment of profitable businesses, lead by professional management to support the productivity of the marketplace.
