Season 2, Episode 8: What is the Solidarity Economy?

In this episode…you’ll hear from Zac Chapman at New Economy Coalition (NEC). We dig into topics like: what the Solidarity Economy (SE) is and the tangible examples that exist within late-stage capitalism, contesting for power and why JPMorgan doesn’t care if you raise chickens (lol), and organizing Donor Advised Fund (DAF) holders as a microcosm of organizing wealth holders to challenge the capital forces we’re up against.
