Please note: this event will be held in person at The Hidden Gardens Boilerhouse and is open to BPOC only.
In this workshop for BPOC participants, you will build an understanding of the tools necessary to build nourishing economies rooted in the Solidarity Economics Framework.
We will consider the roles we all play in the movement to divest from capitalism and be guided by historic BPOC legacies of economic organising based in care. You will leave the workshop resourced with actionable tools for divesting from capitalism.

Decolonising Economics is a collective building a solidarity economy rooted in racial justice principles.
We are working to:
#Divestfromwhiteness – Deepen the analysis of our economic and financial systems which are currently rooted in the colonial legacy of maintaining wealth in whiteness.
Work alongside partners and allies to shift the strategies and practices of the new economy movement in the UK to facilitate a solidarity economy.
Invest in the leadership of marginalised communities of colour who are organising to towards community ownership of assets, as a strategy for reparations that centers collective healing
