Program Full-Description

Workshop Description

Part of how we get free is by attending to the ways that systems of domination operate within us and within our organizations. When we don’t, we risk replicating the very things we are working to transform! This can be demoralizing, dangerous, and even deadly.

As we commit to addressing the harm created by systemic oppression, including the ways we and our communities are both harmed by and benefit from dominance, privilege, and oppression, we move into deeper alignment with our core values and the world we are struggling to build. 

This workshop will support those who wish to bring both rigor and love to applying the Solidarity Economy Principles and Practices (solidarityeconomyprinciples.org) to their work, whether that’s on a local, national, or global level. Whether you’re in a cooperative, a nonprofit, a community garden, or some other kind of organization, the community-sourced wisdom will support your journey.

Participants will leave with….

  • A deeper understanding of the Solidarity Economy Principles and Practices related to Liberation Culture
  • Access to a unique tool to guide deeper reflection and internal organizing to support your group’s Liberation Culture
  • Connection to a learning community of others who have committed to these principles

This program is ideal for...

People who have some understanding of solidarity economy movements and are organizing within groups who have  a commitment to anti-oppression/collective liberation. It is a non-judgemental space, so you are welcome regardless where your group is on its journey.  

(Check out our Solidarity Economy Movements 101 first if you’re new to this term or just want to understand the organizing framework better!)

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.

Cost

Choose what to pay, starting at $40. The true cost of this workshop is $100/person. At PeoplesHub we are committed to communication access, radical hospitality, supporting facilitators, and making our offerings financially accessible. This sliding scale allows us to continue offering programs like this one and pay trainers, interpreters, captioners, and other support staff a fair wage for their time and expertise. Like you, those who support our trainings work hard for change in their communities and have often developed the knowledge, skill and gifts that they are offering through many unpaid hours — let’s support them to be sustainable in their work and craft!
