Beloved Community Incubator is a solidarity economy movement organization, incubator, lender, and worker self-directed non-profit in the Washington, DC metro region. BCI focuses on building a regional solidarity economy that centers people, especially poor and working-class workers and people of color, over profit.
We provide incubation for worker-owned cooperatives, as well as back end support for cooperatives, collectives, and solidarity economy projects through the BCI Network. We offer non-extractive lending to local cooperatives through the DC Solidarity Economy Loan Fund, and organize for worker power and collective control of resources in DC through community organizing, broad-based campaigns, and mutual aid.
