Co-ops for Liberation

ORGANIZATION:
Freedom Dreams

Year: 2022

In times of crisis, Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour (BIPOC) folks didn’t seek to repair the systems that failed them — BIPOC folks sought and fought to reimagine these systems instead.

In Freedom Dreams’ second workshop of the Transformation on our Own Terms Fall Workshop series, Victor Beausoleil, founder and Executive Director of SETSI – The Social Economy Through Social Inclusion Coalition, joins Christine Clarke to look at the historical and current role co-ops play in the fight for social justice and how co-ops can be powerful tools for social change.
