PEOPLE AND PLANET OVER PROFIT

The solidarity economy is a post-capitalist framework of economic activity that is guided by the needs of humanity and nature. These needs take precedence over the interests of market forces and a price system. The goal is to create an “economic cooperative ecology of caring community” as Jessica Gordon Nembhard describes.

The amazing thing is, elements of a new, more caring, equitable economy are already happening! Check out the graphic below of some common examples, and learn more from the US Solidarity Economy Network.
