You might have seen the slogan on NEC’s t-shirts or bumper stickers: “Fire the bosses, Free the Land, Care for the People & Build a Solidarity Economy.” It sounds great, but what do we actually mean — what lineages and struggles do we evoke and build upon — when we use these phrases? We’re here to break it down.
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.
This year we are excited to welcome 37 amazing organizations into the NEC network!
This week we’re talking about the campaign to bailout Black mothers and end cash bail, a new community land trust and co-op hub in Santa Ana, what’s next for the Stop Cop City movement, a call to action for Nakba Day, the digital solidarity economy movement in Brazil, how workers are building power through democratic self-organization, and more.
A collection of resources to support participatory democracy and governance at the organizational level, coming from NEC’s experience as a member-led network and a worker-self directed nonprofit.
