OuR Mission
As a solidarity economy movement organization, our work spans three major areas: cooperative support, non-extractive lending, and community organizing. Through these three areas of work, we support the emergence of a regional solidarity economy by investing in and supporting cooperatives, building worker power, and advocating for policies and laws that support people over profit.
