The US Solidarity Economy Network is thrilled to be one of the anchoring organizations of Decolonizing Economics: Earth Day to May Day.
This is an online summit May 1st, 2nd and 3rd which will include 15 sessions focused on collaborative ways for individuals and institutions to use policies and practices that move away from extractive, power-over systems to regenerative, power-with systems.
From deep dive discussions on key issues like Making Land Back Real, Food Sovereignty, People’s Network for Land & Liberation, Democratizing the Economy, Decolonizing the Law, Traditional Ecological Knowledge, Solidarity Economy 101 and more, there will be something for everyone interested in advancing economic justice and sustainability.
Attendance is on a sliding scale, which means you pay what you can. If you are able to do so, we request a contribution of $25-100 so that we can pay a living wage to organizers, and provide a stipend to presenters. (We prioritize stipends to BIPOC presenters.) No one is turned away for lack of funds.
