Portraits of the Solidarity Economy: Food Cooperatives

In a solidarity economy, our needs are met by exchanging goods, services, resources and knowledge in ways that advance core values of justice, democracy, cooperation, and ecological sustainability.

Produced by Caroline Woolard, Cheyenna Weber, and Michael Johnson of SolidarityNYC.

Photographed and Edited Alex Mallis.
Music by Michael Rosen.
