This week, we’re talking about feminist and popular economy education, grants available to cooperative farmers, building the agrarian commons, the armed people’s revolution in the southern Philippines, and a case study on municipalism in Poland.
This week we’re celebrating Black History Month and talking about Black cooperative practices from Ohio to Jamaica and Ghana, solidarity economy responses to the Trump administration, artist-led solidarity economy models, climate action in Congo, Emergency Response Rooms in Sudan, and more!
In 2024, the Black Solidarity Economy Fund awarded $241,500 to 36 organizations through a participatory grantmaking process with former grantees.
In every New Economy Roundup, we couple our critical analysis of the news with an action you can take to learn more or do something about the issues presented. This month we’re talking about MLK’s legacy, locally controlled finance, labor wins in transportation, ceasefire celebrations in Gaza and anti-colonial activity in Nepal. Read through to the end for related resources, events and trainings.
This month we’re talking about how the Energy Permitting Reform Act will walk back climate action in the U.S., the affordable housing scandal displacing a mobile home community in Miami, a call for solidarity from the Kurdish Liberation Movement in Syria, and solidarity economy at the World Social Forum in Cali, Columbia. Read to the end for our resource list of the month, nonprofit jobs, and virtual and in-person events.
