Creating a Just Capital Fund for your Community

What does just capital and community-controlled finance look like? What have we learned already from emerging experiments in democratic and community-controlled finance? Through this workshop, Transform Finance, Solidago Foundation, and the Boston Ujima Project will introduce participants to the concept of a community-controlled capital fund, highlight Ujima’s work with a capital fund to scale the solidarity economy in Boston, and encourage participants to envision what a fund would look like in their own communities.
