NEC Program Update: Annual Member Meeting, Black Radical Democracy Convening, Worker Co-op Conference

It was a busy summer at NEC! We’ve been on the move — convening online and in person (with COVID precautions of course) to strengthen our relationships and build new connections across the solidarity economy movement. As we shift into new rhythms for Fall, we wanted to share back some of the energy and inspiration from our summer gatherings and share a preview of what we’ve got cooking for the rest of the year.
