We talk more about this in Thursday’s Worldbuilding Workshop, but you may have seen the quote going around “if it’s not free, it’s neither radical or revolutionary”. I want to start off by saying I disagree. Equitable, anti-capitalist, values aligned resource exchange that is accountable to the communities we serve and the planet we inhabit can be some of the most radical and revolutionary work we do. In this current economic system, “free to you” just means the money is coming from somewhere else and a lot times that chain of funding is obfuscated, which can make accountability tricky if not intentionally impossible. In this episode I want to invite us to consider the ways in which pricing our offers for sustainability doesn’t have to compromise the integrity of our work, in fact I want to propose it can actually empower and actualize the worlds we dream of building.
