CUNY SLU’s Solidarity Economy Club Presents: The Role of the Labor Movement in Solidarity Economy

On May 10, 2024 the newly formed Solidarity Economy Club at CUNY School of Labor & Urban studies hosted its first event. Focusing on the role organized labor can play in the emerging solidarity economy movement, the unambiguously titled, “The Role of the Labor Movement in Solidarity Economy”, brought together leading voices such as Dr. Jessica Gordon-Nembhard, Shaywaal Amin (1199 SEIU), and Dr. Alexander Kolokotronis for an excellent discussion. Building from existing discourse on the urgent need for systems change away from capitalism, this event highlighted the key lessons from past movements and identified gaps that need to be filled in the present. As the moderator and lead organizer for the event as well as co-founder of the Solidarity Economy Club, I want to take a moment to expand on my motivations for organizing the event and the club as well as locate the potential for CUNY SLU to play a leading role in advancing transformational change.
