Niki Franco is back to break down what we mean by the term “disaster capitalism” and how communities all over the world — from PR to New Orleans to Hawai’i — have resisted it and built just recovery efforts that return resources and power to the grassroots.

The US is obsessed with the word “democracy” – but what would real, grassroots democracy actually look like? Learn how initiatives like peoples budgets, movement assemblies and workplace democracy are putting real decision making power into community hands.

On the the anniversary of Stonewall, we’re learning all about the radical roots of Pride Month (hint: Stonewall was an uprising against police brutality) and the importance of building abolition into our movements for queer & trans liberation.

A mini teach-in with Niki Franco about the legacy of Juneteenth and Black cooperative economics.

We honor the legacy of those who fought, and all the women today resisting capitalism, colonialism & cisheteropatriarchy by building feminist and popular economies from below. Learn about how women are building their own economies to provide dignified work, visibilize networks of communal care, build solidarity and collective wealth, and protect against gender-based and state violence.

From mutual aid societies to freedom farms and credit unions — Black communities have been using cooperative economics as a tool for collective liberation, self-determination, and to resist the violence of racial capitalism for centuries. Learn about radical Black co-ops throughout history and today.

Many of the strongest examples we have of real solidarity economies – where communities are meeting their own needs outside of capitalist systems – come out of social movements in Latin America,  and the communities who have carried those traditions of cooperation across borders. We’ve compiled this short resource list of solidarity economy organizing in Latin America and Latinx communities in the US as a reminder that another world isn’t only possible – it’s already happening.
