US Solidarity Economy Network (SEN) is a thing. If you're in MA, CA, or VA, you already have a local SEN to join. If you're in another state, it's time to establish yours.
PM me if you are on board and want to find the others near you and build citizens assemblies and mutual aid networks.

This #podcast Redneck Gone Green is hosted by David Cobb, who is on the Board of the US SEN:
I've only listened to one or two episodes and it is mostly useful for me in getting a sense for how well aligned this guy and his friends are with my own politics but I can at least say he is well aligned with me, so if someone reading this feels aligned with my politics and is curious about joining US SEN, the podcast might be a good way to get to know the people involved.
@resl Seems to be https://ussen.org/ ? Would you please point to a good article on what SE is? The one at the USSEN site is incomplete and points to buying a book...
@david42 The SEN is what it sounds like--a network for a solidarity economy as opposed to a finance capitalist economy. The website is not great, I agree. The US SEN started in MA in 2009 AFAIK and has not grown much but I have started to meet and work with people in the VA SEN (vasolidarity.org) and NoVA SENs (novasen.org) and from my experience so far this is very much just plain old "grassroots" organizing for mutual aid and the formation of local citizens assemblies.
I didn't know about US SEN. Thank you. I will look into this.
Which lead me to Québec the Chantier de l’économie sociale du Québec which I knew but did not know was part of a greater international thing (RIPESS).
Thank you.
