The US Solidarity Economy Network (USSEN) is a powerful force in social movements working toward cooperative and postcapitalist economies, democratic governance, social and racial justice, sustainability and climate justice, and electoral justice. For two decades, USSEN has consistently advanced a postcapitalist vision among a growing but fragmented movement for an economy for the 99%. USSEN is aligned with the international Solidarity Economy (SE) movement, in its commitment to a radical set of core values and the practices that help us live into these values.

In this context, USSEN pursues a number of activities to organize and bring focus to the sometimes chaotic proliferation of economic justice projects, bringing SE values and practices to life through through educational offerings, strategic movement gatherings, storytelling efforts, and intentional movement relationship building and networking. USSEN acts as an umbrella where individuals and organizations in the network can move forward projects to advance SE work with consult and support from the board and other members.

USSEN is on the board of RIPESS (the Intercontinental Network for the Promotion of the Social Solidarity Economy), through which we are connected to the global solidarity economy movement.
