The #econjusticebrum celebration event is live! Our thanks to Huddlecraft, People’s Economy and all our huddlers for their hard work to get us to this point.

Emergency vs Emergence - this huddle explored the book Emergent Strategy by Adrienne Maree Brown - concluding a move away from the individual to the collective is needed, and exploring the skills and actions needed to do that. adriennemareebrown.net/book/emergen... #econjusticebrum

Mindset Matters - this huddle was “impactful, empowering, cathartic” “economic justice served family style” - amazing black women leaders going inside themselves to question, challenge, explore and grow.

“Mindset is a collective practice’

“We are going to take over the world!” #econjusticebrum

“How do you define your personal economy?” One of our huddles has explored economic liberation through the lens of creativity and culture and their definitions involved blogs, poetry and illustration #EconJusticeBrum

🚨Economic Justice Brum is now on social media 🚨

We’re a network of changemakers working to transform Birmingham’s economy so it serves our communities. Through strong relationships and bold strategies, we’re driving lasting, systemic change.

🚀 Join us - the people of Birmingham deserve better! 🌱

Very excited to be doing this today - do check out #EconJusticeBrum and our new website at www.economicjusticebrum.org

Our final Huddle presentation- A Life Well Lived - exploring care, connection and community in capitalist times.

An illustration of how hard we find it to explore without conclusion, to consider problems without solving, to allow ourselves to simply experience, connect & listen.
