What might we find in the intersection between the Solidarity Economy with Asset-based Community Development? Let’s find out! Join this online discussion about the synergies and complementary differences between the generative frameworks and practices of Solidarity Economy and Asset-based Community Development.

Co-facilitated by practitioners from both arenas, we’ll explore in discussion where the solidarity economy and ABCD already overlaps, opportunities for more commingling and impact, and how the two movements could come together structurally. There might also be limitations to this mashup. We’ll explore that too.

This discussion will be led by:

-Miki'ala Catalfano, co-founder of the Native Roots Network and leader in indigenous-led regenerative community development.

-Aaron Fernando is Shareable's Cooperative Organizer working to support a just transition for rural electric cooperatives. He's also written extensively about the solidarity economy.

-Amaha Sellassie, Director of the Center for Applied Social Issues and Associate Professor of Sociology at Sinclair Community College.

-April Doner, a steward of the ABCD Institute, ABCD trainer, and solidarity economy practitioner and movement activist.

-Neal Gorenflo, ABCD Institute’s network connector and former editor of Shareable, an online magazine covering the solidarity economy.

The session will include an introductory discussion by the hosts, a larger group discussion and breakout discussions if we have a large enough group.

Join us for this exploration hosted by people in the field!
