Struggling communities don’t need handouts — they need bold new ways to root wealth. Meet Molly Hemstreet — a TED Fellow, Southern Appalachia native and cofounder of worker support network the Industrial Commons — who’s flipping the script on generational poverty by turning textile waste into $9-per-pound yarn and factory workers into business owners. Discover how her long-haul approach is rebuilding rural economies stitch by stitch, proving that opportunity grows when we stop extracting and start empowering.

Live-streamed on June 17, 2024 Astra Taylor, writer, documentarian, & co-founder of the Debt Collective, and Leah Hunt-Hendrix, co-founder of Way to Win & the philanthropy network Solidaire, to discuss their recent book Solidarity: The Past, Present, and Future of a World-Changing Idea. https://x.com/astradisastra?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor https://debtcollective.org/ https://x.com/lhunthendrix?lang=en https://waytowin.us/ https://solidairenetwork.org/ https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/740355/solidarity-by-leah-hunt-hendrix-and-astra-taylor/ Astra Taylor and Leah Hunt-Hendrix then join, diving right into the idea of “solidarity” as a material concept of social cohesion, with roots in the holding of a common debt between Roman farmers, and as a central tenant in the development of France’s welfare state during the Industrial Revolution. Expanding on this, Taylor and Hunt-Hendrix unpack the role self-interest plays alongside solidarity, painting a distinction between the strict divisions of reactionary solidarities (e.g. White Supremacy, ruling class) and the malleable identity of transformational solidarity as they demonstrated the failure of “zero-sum” thinking, and how transformational solidarity extends the benefits of social progress to all. Next, Astra, Leah, Sam, and Emma have an extensive conversation on the “Scam” of philanthropy, from how it promotes movement capture by major capitalist donors to it’s effective purpose as a tax haven for the wealthy, before they wrap up the interview with the role of the state in undermining the ability to foster solidarity, and how its power can just as well be used to promote it.
