Quarterly Roundup: The latest in NYC cooperative and solidarity economy news! *español abajo*

Mark your calendar for a night of networking and shaping the NYC solidarity economy agenda on April 11 from 6-9pm.

Solidarity Snapshot: Cole Carothers
“Practicing a genuine solidarity economy means dismantling these corrupt policies (read: red lining, colonization, etc) and supporting historically disenfranchised communities to have access to capital and other resources usually denied, hidden, or manipulated away from them.” – Cole Carothers

Generation Solidarity Closes Out 2018

Thank you to all the members who generously dedicated time to introduce co-ops and solidarity economy strategies to a new generation of New Yorkers!

Participants played a game of Trustville with the New York City Community Land Initiative, learned about community development credit unions with Brooklyn Cooperative Federal Credit Union, visited community gardens by bike with Brooklyn Queens Land Trust, and delved into the ins and outs of affordable housing co-ops with Urban Homesteading Assistance Board.

Anti-Racism and Gentrification Trainings

Food co-operatives face unique challenges as place-based community organizations in a rapidly gentrifying city. To make sure our co-ops remain inclusive, and aligned with the cooperative principles and broader solidarity economy in NYC, we have to take on these challenges intentionally.

Peer educators have designed a two-day anti-racism and gentrification workshop to help co-ops kick off a process for deepening engagement with racial and social justice issues in their neighborhoods, so co-ops can be a force for justice rather than displacement. The workshop is followed by a self-determined program of study and support CEANYC customizes with each co-op.

Many thanks to Cooperative Development Institute (CDI) for supporting this work! We look forward to bringing this training to food co-ops throughout the northeast with CDI’s help. Want to know more? Email organize@gocoopnyc.com.
Policy

We’ve been busy!

Last November CEANYC leaders, including Board member Mark Winston-Griffith, spoke at the New York City and State Hearing on Economic Democracy. Afterwards each of the elected officials who participated was given a map of the solidarity economy in their district. We’ve invited them to learn more about all of you directly. Stay tuned!

Partnering with over 30 different organizations, CEANYC Board and staff helped generate the CloseRIKERS #buildCOMMUNITIES platform, which includes calls to support cooperatives.

This month CEANYC staff and members created amendments to Governor Cuomo’s legislation that will legalize adult use cannabis. These amendments will support licenses to co-ops in a new lucrative industry. Shout out to Green Worker Co-ops and NYC Network of Worker Cooperatives leader Raybblin Vargas for spearheading the co-op amendment working group.

Last but not least, CEANYC Board and staff continue to meet with New Economy Project on their campaign CooperationNYC, which is meant to support municipal co-op policies.

Instantánea Solidaria: Cole Carothers
“Practicar una auténtica economía solidaria significa desmantelar las políticas corruptas (léase: las estructuras de discriminación en el mercado de la vivienda, la colonización, etc.) y apoyar a las comunidades históricamente desfavorecidas para que tengan acceso a capital y otros recursos que generalmente son son denegados, ocultos o manipulados para no ser accesibles.” – Cole Carothers

Entrenamientos de Anti-Racismo y Gentrificación

Las cooperativas de alimientos se enfrentan desafíos únicos como organizaciones basado en el lugar en una ciudad que esta en el medio de gentrificación dramática. Para asegurarse que nuestros cooperativas permanecen inclusivos, y alineados con los principios cooperativas y la economía solidaria de NYC, tenemos que confrontar esos desafíos con intención. Nuestros educadores han deseñado un entrenamiento de dos días sobre anti-racismo y gentrificación para apoyar cooperativas empezar un proceso para fortalecen compromiso con cuestiones de justicia de raza y social en sus barrios, así que co-ops pueden ser fuerzas bara justicia en lugar de desplazamiento.
