Brown Bag Lunch Online Presentation with Tamara McFarland, Cooperation Humboldt Board President
Monday, March 21, 2022 - 12:00pm
Brown Bag Lunch Online Presentation with Tamera McFarland, Cooperation Humboldt Board President: Cooperation Humboldt is helping to build a Solidarity Economy in our community. This presentation will be a “big picture” overview of the organization. We will discuss our vision, goals, strategies and projects. We will also explore various ways individuals can get connected to our work.
Cooperation Humboldt helps to build a solidarity economy on California’s North Coast. We believe it is possible for everyone to get their needs met to not merely survive, but to thrive. This can be done in an ecologically sustainable and regenerative manner without exploitation or oppression. To do so will require transforming our social, political and economic institutions.
