Today BCI’s article on building a solidarity economy in the DC area was published in Nonprofit Quarterly — the final installment in a 6-part series highlighting the work of members of The New Economy Coalition (NEC) & the emerging regional ecosystems in New Orleans, Buffalo, LA, Oakland, and DC.
The New Economy Coalition is a membership-based network that represents the organizations, networks, and projects that make up the solidarity economy movement in the United States. BCI joined NEC in 2023 as a solidarity movement organization, incubator, and lender.
In BCI’s article, Building the Spokes in the Wheel of a Solidarity Economy: A DC Story, Bianca Vazquez and M. Felix Macaraeg share highlights from BCI’s organizing with cooperatives and workers in the DMV, and our vision for a regional solidarity economy.
