Another world is happening.
We’re a coalition of 200+ organizations building the solidarity economy in the U.S. and showing that another world is not only possible — it’s already happening.
A New Future
What is the solidarity economy?
A global movement to put people and planet over profits.
A set of principles, practices, and institutions that provide real alternatives to capitalism.
A system where all of the things a community needs are controlled and governed by everyday people.
A framework rooted in participatory democracy, cooperation, solidarity, and respect for the earth.
