Resources from our Network
Resource List: Pride, Abolition & Solidarity Economies

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

Resist & Build: Resources to Build Radical Imagination
As our communities struggle to survive this pandemic and against a failed governance and economic system, how will we reclaim our power and create a world where our needs are met, and no one is disposable? This series intends to be an educational tool for those who want to build a new world but don’t know where to start.
Resource List: Solidarity Economies in Latin America
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.
