OUR WORK & PROGRAMS
ARTS, CULTURE & STORYTELLING
We make the solidarity economy movement irresistible by resourcing and investing in artists, culture workers, storytellers, and narrative infrastructure.
CREATIVE WILDFIRE
Born out of a collaborative manifesto written by solidarity economy cultural organizers seeking to resist a return to “normal,” Creative Wildfire is a cultural orgnaizing and narrative shift program that supports artists to popularize the vision of the solidarity economy through popular education, mentorship and financial support. This project is a collaboration alongside Movement Generation and Climate Justice Alliance.
