Pon la vida en el centro. Manifesto for the Solidarity Economy

The proposals of the Solidarity Economy face the development of a capitalist economy, financialized and far from the real economy, focused on the unlimited growth of production and consumption regardless of its social and environmental effects. Its only objective is profit and profit maximization, which produces unsustainable precariousness, poverty and inequality. It is a system not only economic, but socio-political and cultural, based on relations of inequality and exclusion based on gender, sexual orientation and identity, age or origin.

The Solidarity Economy is a vision and a practice that, within the Social Economy, places the processes of sustaining life at the center of socioeconomic activity, placing people, communities and the environment above capital and its accumulation. This model promotes and develops alternative initiatives in all spheres of the economic cycle (financing, production, marketing and consumption), from values related, among others, to cooperation, reciprocity, self-management and solidarity. All this from a transformative perspective that seeks to build more communitarian, democratic, equitable, inclusive and sustainable economies. Economies, in short, feminist, ecological and based on solidarity.
