Join Episcopal City Mission on Zoom to explore the concept of "Solidarity Economy" - alternative models of businesses and investments that center the well-being of people and the planet, co-operation, democracy, and social and racial justice. There is a vibrant solidarity economy growing in MA and many ways for individuals and churches to participate in it! In this webinar we'll hear from the MA Solidarity Economy Network (MA-SEN), Center for Cooperative Development and Solidarity, and the Community Purchasing Alliance (CPA) which works with institutions, including many Episcopal churches, to ethically source some of their major building contract needs. CPA has shifted over $30 million dollars in contracts nationally to Black, Indigenous, and People of Color-owned businesses, while saving their participants money through group purchasing. We'll also hear from Episcopalians who have been involved in the Solidarity Economy directly. Solidarity Economy is part of Episcopal City Mission's three-pronged strategy for doing our part to shrink the racial wealth gap in Massachusetts, alongside State Policy and Reparations.
