Building Sustainable Futures: Solidarity Economies Visioning Session
Date: Saturday, June 17, 2023
Time: 1-3PM
Location: The Luminary, 2701 Cherokee St, St. Louis, MO
Details:
In this workshop with Solidarity Economy STL at CF:STL Lab, we will invite participants to imagine what it would be like to live in a solidarity economy where all of the things a community needs–like housing, schools, farms and food production, local governance structures, art and culture, healthcare and healing, and transportation–are controlled and governed by everyday people. Through interactive discussions and visioning exercises, we will examine the potential for building these models and envision how solidarity economy principles can be applied to housing and other systems in our communities.
Whether you're a housing advocate, community organizer, or simply interested in exploring new models of housing and economic well-being, this workshop is for you. Don't miss this opportunity to learn about solidarity economies and shared housing models and contribute to shaping the future of housing in your community!
During the workshop we will also have a Community Zine Brunch with light refreshments, and where you can make and exchange zines with others.
Speakers:
Julia Ho, Founder of Solidarity Economy St. Louis and co-founder of STL Mutual Aid
Rasheedah Phillips, Artist (Black Quantum Futurism) and Director of Housing, PolicyLink
This program is part of Black Quantum Futurism Community Futures: Space-Time Liberation Lab (CF:STL LAB), a three-month long Afrofuturist housing and land justice lab at The Luminary.
