Solidarity Economy Principles

A pink and purple waterfall with small orange sparkles is cascading down purple hills to a pink river. Over the wateralls are the words The path to unity flows through accountability. The path to healing begins with justice.

Welcome

Do you dream of a world free from exploitation, violence, and domination? Do you yearn for all people to what they need to thrive, where we choose peace over war, where we live in harmony with all the beings who share our abundance and generous planet?

Solidarity economies are integral to that dreamed-for and longed-for world. Together, working with the practices and principles outlined on this site, we can build what we need today, making the path as we move together in alignment.

All solidarity economy groups are invited to commit to upholding the principles and practices, whether your organization i’s a single collective or co-op, or a network or federation.

If you’re new to solidarity economy ideas and are looking for an introduction we recommend starting here.
