Solidarity Series: AN INTRODUCTION TO THE SOLIDARITY ECONOMY

The Guild

This session will provide attendees an introduction and overview of the Solidarity Economy.

The Ke'nekt Cooperative

The Solidarity Economy is a global movement to build a more fair, more sustainable economy. It’s an alternative to the dominant capitalism, where people and the planet are valued more than financial profit and communities organize themselves around shared values of democracy, cooperative ownership, and mutual respect for each other and the earth. In this session, you’ll engage with local examples of the Solidarity Economy in Atlanta and beyond, including the Guild’s <a href="https://www.theguild.community/community-stewardship-trust/" title="https://www.theguild.community/community-stewardship-trust/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Community Stewardship Trust</a>, and explore how it can reflect your values and benefits for your local community.
