We'll share little known ways an economy waged as war has created a ruthless culture of "privatization" and "financialization," indifferent to social outcomes. Its mystification of money, as if money alone creates value, makes a safe climate, good health care, healthy food, and affordable housing more and more difficult for more and more people.
Does it need to be this way? Are there better ideas? Find out by tuning in.

Georgia Kelly joined us to tell us much more about Mondragón in Spain, the largest worker-owned cooperative corporation in the world. Georgia has developed an educational seminar tour at the Mondragón Cooperatives in Spain—and from her experience at Mondragón, has focused on cooperatives as an ethical and socially just economic model for the 21st century.

Join dynamic women to learn about ways to create more resilient communities through revolving credit circles, cooperative businesses, trade agreements, services, and more. Women often lead these local efforts that economists traditionally call “informal,” but why? Would becoming more “formal,” as some are now urging, improve mutual trust and security, or undermine it?

What is security? On whose account? Our species faces a climate crisis, a water and food crisis, and a demented delusion that humans are natural overlords of earth’s domain. T-Rex probably believed that too. Then the weather got really bad...
An Economy of Our Own gathered some of the earthiest women we know to talk about sustaining our weather, our water, and our food. This talk provides solutions for climate change, rooted in current extractive agricultural & water policy, and resource-grabbing for private profit. It's a huge set of topics, but these just the women to help us make sense of it.

If Wall Street and Silicon Valley have more billionaires than ever, how come Main Street’s people are living from paycheck to paycheck—and that’s if they’re lucky?! What is the nature of the currency we call the dollar? And how can we invest our privately earned dollars and our shared public dollars more wisely for the long term? What does the Robinhood GameStop story in the news tell us about the money systems we all count on, but that treats us very differently if we’re Black, brown, or female?
Learn how women are working now to more clearly explain our current money world, including the Federal Reserve, and working to change our money’s intent—not to enrich just a few winners at the cost of mostly losers, but to grant all of us a livable future—in this Zoom of Our Own.

Much has been said about “the new normal.” After the pandemic, what will our world look like? The last four years (and the centuries before them!) have revealed that we must dream beyond “reform”—and envision and design real feminist futures that look entirely different from our lopsided reality that discounts our value.
Join us for a conversation on how we can truly “build back better”—by addressing the she-cession caused by COVID-19 and the underlying racism, sexism, and economic inequality that it has highlighted.

The work women do is mostly underpaid, always undervalued, and frequently invisible. That won’t change till we change the way we value women’s contributions, paid or unpaid. Our society values what we count and measure. Advocates for a Caring Economy insist we count and value how caring makes the world go around.

What if you and you community owned its own banks and corporations? How can the collective approach of cooperative business models and banking in the public interest work together? Why would these make a difference for women?
