Hello John!
You’re invited to an upcoming
online event series: “Getting Through Economic Downturns
Together.”

now to join us!
You may have heard the current
economic crisis compared to the great recession of 2008, or even the
Great Depression of the 1930’s. For good reason: Workers are being put
at greater risk just to make ends meet, unemployment has sky-rocketed,
and those already marginalized in today’s economy -black, brown, and
indigenous people, immigrants, the disabled and chronically ill- are
bearing the brunt of this crisis. But there is hope!
During each previous crisis people
from different walks of life have gathered in solidarity to create
real solutions for themselves and their communities. From organizing
and advocacy, to mutual aid networks and worker cooperatives, people
around the globe have formed lasting solutions at great
odds.
What can today’s movements learn
from how our ancestors built and resisted?
Join
this circle and workshop series to explore this question with our friends at the PeoplesHub,
New Economy Coalition, US Solidarity Economy Network, GEO Collective,
and Solidarity NYC.
The Circle will feature Dr. Jessica
Gordon-Nembhard, George Lakey, and UFE Board Chair and President of
the Insight Center for Community Economic Development, Anne Price. And
the workshop series will be facilitated by Elandria Williams,
Executive Director of the PeoplesHub and Riahl O’Malley, Director of
Education at United for a Fair Economy.
