Solidarity Economy

We develop sustainable local economies that are community-run, create collective wealth and build economic security by valuing labor and input from everyday people.

Environmental Sustainability

We create paths to transition from our carbon-based economy, which threatens modern civilization, into a clean and healthy world for our children.
