New Economy ROUNDUP
New Economy Roundup: Women’s Resistance, Black Food Sovereignty, Rural Electric Co-ops
This month we’re talking about how women around the world resist and build solidarity, worker and community member actions in Minnesota, fostering Black food sovereignty in Detroit, taking action against imperialism in Haiti, and more.
New Economy Roundup: Practicing Abolition, Organized Labor & Housing Co-ops, Black Solidarity Economy Fund
This week we’re talking about how the solidarity economy requires abolition practices, leaving corporate landlords in the past and building tenant power, a new pilot project between co-ops and organized labor, and, of course, solidarity with all oppressed people everywhere.
New Economy Roundup: Black Co-op History, Fighting Fascism Everywhere, Solidarity Economy Case Studies
This month we’re talking about Black cooperative history, five case studies of regional solidarity economies, and how people are resisting the growing tide of fascism from Atlanta to Oaxaca to Argentina while building community power.

Solidarity Economy Shorts is a podcast collaboration between NEC & Cooperative Media Journal.

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.

Launching our 2023 Member Dues Drive
Giving dues reflects all the benefits of being a member, and materially shows that members collectively own this network!
