Worcester SAGE announces the 3rd Annual Solidarity and Green Economy Conference: Place, Politics & Potential!

Please plan on joining activists, organizers, educators, community leaders, non-profits and other individuals and organizations who are committed to forging more equitable and sustainable ways of organizing our economies and communities.  

Featured themes:

1. Access to land and housing - anti-foreclosure movements, right to the city, new economic and community land ownership models

2. Solidarity Economy resource financing - getting the resources we need to build a new economy

3. Organizing consumers to promote Solidarity Economy initiatives - ex. Italian model

As the increasing efforts across the state around sustainable, cooperative and alternative economics attest, another economy is possible. In order to embrace and support the growing movement, this year's conference will take place over the course of 3 days. Sessions, workshops, and discussions will help to plan and enact solidarity economy initiatives and relationships, launch new and support existing campaigns, and discuss the possibilities of a statewide solidarity economy initiative.
