Confronted with Covid-19, the Solidarity Economy is mobilising

Our April newsletter will be entirely devoted to the Coronavirus crisis. This is not to be redundant on what the media are reporting on: the number of people infected, the number of deaths, the state of the stocks of masks and respirators, etc. All information undoubtedly useful but whose effect on the population is anxiety-provoking. In this newsletter we have chosen to collect the initiatives that are emerging in European countries and in the world to face in solidarity the difficulties generated in daily life. Some initiatives come from public authorities, such as the European answer here. We are also publishing texts for reflection on the post-epidemic period in order to drastically renew the economic model that many of us consider unsuitable for the advent of a society compatible with the well-being of humanity.

This period places under the microscope the negligence of a system that endangers the lives of the most fragile people and places the burden of the crisis on the shoulders of personnel exposed without protection, and subjected to a lack of means and a pace of work that is incompatible with the serenity required in dealing with the sick and bereaved families. It is a glaring example of the inequalities resulting from the unfairness of the rewards allocated to those who contribute to the smooth running of a society and the neglect of a system that considers those who do not have access to jobs to be useless by putting them both at risk of death.

In spite of and thanks to the containment measures, civil society is showing its creativity to compensate for the disorder caused by the deregulation of economic organizations. In this issue, we will therefore find an anthology of initiatives, links and cooperation to save local producers who can no longer sell their products in the familiar channels, dressmakers who are transferring their activity to the production of masks and protective clothing, improvised canteens to help those who would otherwise die, accommodation for those who are “confined outside”, and so on. Finally, the civil society that was previously mobilized to bring about the economies of transition is organizing itself to prepare for the post-Covid 19 period so that we do not go back to the deadly direction of the “business as usual” of the rentier economy and the absurdities of producing useless objects that waste resources and energy. Many are joining together to publish their demands. Others are organizing online debates to gather imaginations and knowledge. Can we hope that this unexpected slowdown will lead to a deeper reflection on the essential needs, among which cooperation and solidarity are currently making a dazzling demonstration of their merits?

RIPESS is participating in these clarifications, these perspectives so that tomorrow will not resemble in any way what has prevailed in recent decades. And if for the moment the date of the World Social Forum on Transformative Economies in June is cancelled, we are thinking about how to continue the collaborations begun during the preparation period and we will inform you of the follow-up that will be given to them.

Let us stay together and vigilant.

FSM2021 : PRESENTING THE TRANSFORMATIVE CITIES INITIATIVE AND THE ATLAS OF UTOPIAS

Webinar

Transformative Cities is an opportunity for progressive local governments, municipalist coalitions, social movements and civil society organizations to popularize and share their experiences of building solutions to our planet’s systemic economic, social, political and ecological crises.

The initiative draws on the emerging wave of transformative practices and responses taking place at municipal level worldwide, by launching a unique platform and award process that will facilitate the wider dissemination of the lessons and inspiration from such practices.

REJIES virtual workshop on experiences of social enterprises in the field of culture, migration and equality and gender

Webinar

The REJIES Network, of Young Researchers in Social Economy of CIRIEC-Spain, in collaboration with the International University of Valencia (VIU) and the EMES Network organizes a workshop on experiences of social enterprises in the field of culture, migration and equality and gender. This workshop will take place on January 29th between 12 and 14 hours through the virtual campus of the VIU.

The workshop is organized within the framework of the upcoming 8th EMES International Congress on Social Enterprise Research, to be held next October in Zaragoza, a meeting place for the international academic community involved in research on social enterprises, social and solidarity economy (SSE), social entrepreneurship and social innovation.

On the way to the meeting in Zaragoza, from REJIES it has been considered relevant to anticipate some debates, which will serve as a guide in its preparation, and for that purpose they propose this virtual meeting with Social Enterprises that develop their activity in three innovative areas (culture, gender equality and migration).

The three proposed areas invite to generate lines of work around the important economic and social challenges existing in each one of them, which help to understand the way in which Social Enterprises are responding in an innovative way to face them.

The activity is free, but it is necessary to register at the following link
