Building Belonging Economies |

Belonging means having the opportunity to co-create the structures, institutions, and norms that shape our lives in order to build a world based on inclusion, fairness, justice, and care for the Earth. By definition, this includes the right to co-create the economic systems that shape our lives, non-human life, and the Earth itself.
What would economies built on belonging look like? If we are to build Belonging Economies, what about our economic systems-as well as our political, social, and cultural arrangements-might need to be re-envisioned and reorganized, including addressing the harms of racial capitalism, colonialism, and slavery? What are the challenges to building Belonging Economies, and what efforts and successes can we look to for guidance?
This panel addresses these questions and their stakes while also exploring the role of repair in Belonging Economies.
