Solidarity School Follow-up

As part of our developing Solidarity School, Open Collective Foundation plans to host Solidarity Economy 101 workshops on alternating months alongside other complementary offerings such as our Monthly Community Forum, a live Offers & Needs Market, and other workshops by partner orgs including sessions on participatory budgeting, cooperatives, intersectional solidarity, and distributed leadership in groups.

To remain in conversation with others who have attended this session or discuss other possibilities for Solidarity School, we invite you to join us on the Open Collective Slack in the ocf-solidarity-school-alumni channel.

If you enjoyed or benefited from this workshop, we invite you to consider donating to the US Solidarity Economy Network. Recommended sliding scale donation: $0-$100. Donate here.

Hope to see you again soon, 
April, David, Emily, & Mike
