ECONOMICS FOR EMANCIPATION
A Course on Capitalism, Solidarity and How We Get Free
Economics for Emancipation (E4E) is a seven-module introductory curriculum with interactive and participatory workshops. It offers a deep critical dive into the current political economic system, exploration of alternative economic systems, and dynamic tools to dream and build the economy that centers care, relationship, and liberation.
Our Story
E4E has been shaped by decades of dialogue between progressive economists, grassroots organizers, and rank & file union workers; we hope it will strengthen your analysis, fuel your spirit and connect you to efforts challenging this economic system at its root. Let’s put study into action!
I started as a participant wanting to learn and then became a facilitator. Now, I use the tools and experience in my own line of work as a cooperative developer. I remember using the “Popular Education Framework” to host a Just Transition Workshop for an interview. I got the job! And now I also work with East Bay Permanent Real Estate Cooperative. I loved the experience! I gained the knowledge and confidence I needed to change systems in my own life.
