the solidarity economy movement

The solidarity economy movement promotes economic practices rooted in cooperation, fairness, and social well-being rather than profit maximization. It encourages communities to build businesses and organizations that prioritize shared benefits, democratic decision-making, and sustainable development. By focusing on social and environmental value, this movement seeks to create an inclusive economy where everyone has a voice and access to resources, fostering resilience and reducing inequalities. It often involves cooperatives, social enterprises, and local networks working together to build a more just and sustainable economic system.
