State Network Series – Pathways to Economic System Change

Our new series will spotlight networks that are working to create Wellbeing Economies in their states.

Each session in this webinar series will spotlight one state network as they share their vision for progress, highlight the economic transformations they are working toward, and the key actors involved in driving change.

This is an opportunity for participants to learn directly from those on the ground, hearing about strategies, successes, and lessons learned. The conversations will not only explore the “what” of each network’s work, but also the “how” behind building an economy designed to serve people and the planet.

Our first presentation will be from Matthew Slaats of the Virginia Solidarity Economy Network.

Matthew is a civic organizer with a focus on grassroots community development networks across the diversity of the state of VA. Successes have included Virginia’s first city based participatory budgeting effort and the start of a state worker cooperative development center. In all this work he is focused specifically on centering the voices of residents in the decisions that impact their lives.

Join us September 9th at 11am Pacific/ 2 Eastern to learn more and participate in a dialogue with Matthew.

Later in this series we will hear from:

• Puerto Rico Social Solidarity Network
• Vermont Prosperity Project
• Āina Aloha Economic Futures
• Washington Economic Justice Alliance & People’s Economy Lab
