The Just Economics team of Gilda Haas, Eileen Raphael, Ellen Teninty, Kimberly Tso and Claudia Vizcarra created the Meltdown training that appears on this website. Just Economics was a renowned women’s collective that produced and presented popular-education workshops on a wide variety of economic topics for over a decade — and then the team reconvened in late 2008 to create Meltdown.
Here is a video of Just Economics’ Eileen Raphael guiding participants through a live version (a “live illustration”) of the Meltdown workshop. This particular session was held in Gilda’s Community Economic Development class at UCLA in 2009.
