BELOVED ECONOMY SPOTLIGHT

We believe in putting people over profits in a way that supports each individual’s ability to thrive and not just survive. Boycotting some businesses is not enough. We need to more deeply invest in Black and Brown owned businesses and cooperative enterprises that support a Solidarity Economy.

Two of our favorites that we’ve had the joy of watching grow:
Shine Together Cleaning Cooperative was incubated and launched by our North Shore affiliate Essex County Community Organization

Hair By Lorreta (on Instagram @hbl_hairbylorrta) specializing in Root Braids, Microlocs & Natural Hair Styling

Black Owned Non Profit, Vendors & Business Resource List curated by the North Shore Juneteenth Association

Help us build this list with your favorites in communities across the Commonwealth.
