Solidarity economy

Hi, my name is Ebony Joy.

Welcome to Solidarity Economy Shorts, a collaboration between New Economy Coalition and Cooperative Journal Media.

Solidarity Economy Shorts are conversations with frontline organizations and individuals that are putting solidarity economy principles into practice.

They're using different strategies to build an economic system where communities are meeting their own needs outside of capitalism.

New Economy Coalition is a membership representing the solidarity economy ecosystem in the United States.

Their members are actively working across economic sectors to shift from individuality and capitalism to cooperation and solidarity.

Some of the New Economy members will be featured on this podcast to explore topics like land justice, cooperation, arts and culture, resource mobilization, and more.

Their work focuses on practices that promote justice and sharing, including cooperatives, community currencies, community enterprises, local investing, co-housing, urban agriculture, and other innovative economic strategies.
