The Solidarity Economy: Politics & Policy

Episode 8 of Redneck Gone Green

Howdy folks,

On the Tuesday Sept 12, 2023 episode of Redneck Gone Green (at 6p eastern/3p pacific) will be slightly different. We won't have a guest this week, instead Jack and I will be  discussing an upcoming  webinar I will be moderating called “Imaginal Cells of the Solidarity Economy: Politics & Policy” which will be offered on Tues, Sept 19 at 11am pacific, 2pm eastern.

Webinar panelists will include: 

Kali Akuno of Cooperation Jackson talking about Worker-Owned Cooperatives

Petual Hanley of Democracy Beyond Elections talking about Participatory Budgeting

Lydia Lopez of CA CLT Network talking about  Community Land Trusts 

Jiyoung Carolyn Park of LA Public Banking talking about Public Banking (d’uh).

Here is how we are describing the webinar:

We are living through an historic moment where a number of crises-- climate change, growing economic and cultural divide, virulent racism, and the slide toward fascism--are converging. This makes for scary times but also times that are ripe with potential for fundamental system change. As the faith in the status quo is shaken, we're seeing a greater openness to post-capitalist futures such as the solidarity economy.

The Imaginal Cells of the Solidarity Economy is an ongoing webinar series that showcases the myriad ways that solidarity economy practices are providing models and pathways to build a more cooperative, democratic, equitable, and sustainable world--one in which many worlds fit. The next offering is “Politics & Policy” on Tues, Sept 19 at 11am pacific, 2pm eastern.

We hope that you will join us, both for our next episode of Redneck Gone Green this coming Tuesday, as well as the webinar!

The webinar is free, but advance registration is required.
