In this workshop series, our partners at CEANYC will explore possible connections and collaborations across the solidarity economy as we begin to rebuild a community controlled economy after this year of pandemic and protest.

In this first workshop, they will identify opportunities and challenges and follow up with another in the Summer and a third in the Fall. We will dig deeper into how we can engage in this moment as a solidarity economy in NYC.

All workshops will be virtual. Spanish and English interpretation will be available.
