We are convening an network of Asian American solidarity economy practitioners. We believe that the Asian American experience is historically and culturally particular, making the framework and practice of cooperation in the workplace, household, and community distinct.

Our goals are to cultivate ideas, tools, and resources so Asian American communities can self-determine a new economy that is radically inclusive, just, sustainable, and democratic.

The objectives are three-fold:

• To develop a framework for the theory and practice of solidarity economies in Asian American communities.
• To create a participatory toolkit on the multifacets of solidarity economies, targeted to and translated for Asian American communities.
• To develop a peer network of Asian American solidarity economy practitioners that will, on the one hand, make visible experiments emerging in communities across the nation, and, on the other, provide translocal support for projects.
