Description
Moving a city, moving an economy w/ Cheyenna Weber A bit over a decade ago, it was just a handful of people speaking the phrase "solidarity economy" in New York City in an intentional way. Today, the concept has gained considerable traction, but obstacles loom as successes accumulate. Cheyenna Layne Weber has been at close to the heart of that trajectory. Here, she shares insights, lessons and observations from the journey so far. Cheyenna is involved a number of organizations, but we focus here mainly on her work with Solidarity NYC, the Cooperative Economics Alliance of New York City, and the Solidarity Economy Principles Project.
