Resource List: Just Recovery vs Disaster Capitalism
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.
Resource List: Participatory Democracy
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.
Resource List: Pride, Abolition & Solidarity Economies
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.
Resource List: Juneteenth
A mini teach-in with Niki Franco about the legacy of Juneteenth and Black cooperative economics.
Resource List: Feminist & Popular Economies
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.
Resource List: Black Co-op History
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. Check out the resource list to learn about radical Black co-ops throughout history and today.
