Liberation Culture: Applying Solidarity Economy Principles and Practices

Part of how we get free is by attending to the ways that systems of domination operate within us and within our organizations. When we don’t, we risk replicating the very things we are working to transform! This can be demoralizing, dangerous, and even deadly.

As we commit to addressing the harm created by systemic oppression, including the ways we and our communities are both harmed by and benefit from dominance, privilege, and oppression, we move into deeper alignment with our core values and the world we are struggling to build. 

This workshop will support those who wish to bring both rigor and love to applying the Solidarity Economy Principles and Practices (solidarityeconomyprinciples.org) to their work, whether that’s on a local, national, or global level. Whether you’re in a cooperative, a nonprofit, a community garden, or some other kind of organization, the community-sourced wisdom will support your journey.

This sliding scale allows us to continue offering programs like this one and pay trainers, interpreters, captioners, and other support staff a fair wage for their time and expertise. Like you, those who support our trainings work hard for change in their communities and have often developed the knowledge, skill and gifts that they are offering through many unpaid hours — let’s support them to be sustainable in their work and craft!
