Solidarity Economies: Building Community Power: five case studies
2023
Compendio :
A publication series co-produced with The Nonprofit Quarterly— features five case studies highlighting the work & the strategies that NEC members are using to build solidarity economy ecosystems.
For this series we invited to participate NEC members that were placed-based in different regions of the US, and that could offer concrete examples and experiences on how communities are governing themselves through participatory democracy, cooperation and public ownership while building a culture of care and respect.
This series has been possible thanks to the inspiration, creativity and labor of our dear members, & the love their communities are pouring to imagine and build different worlds.
The series is composed by the following NEC members:
Introduction by NEC Board member Stacey Sutton. Seeding Solidarity Economies: What’s Behind the Emerging Ecosystems.
Cooperation New Orleans: Building an Arts Solidarity Economy
Cooperation Buffalo: Building Economic Resilience in the Rust Belt: Buffalo’s Growing Co-op Network
