That's why art.coop created this free course last year with Creative Study on Guaranteed Income and various pilots focused on artists in the United States! Take the course alone or with your collective or group: creativestudy.com/course/guara...

Everyone’s talking about Artist Basic Income again with the news of Ireland’s basic income for artists (BIA) pilot turning permanent. But how do we go from pilots - like we've had in the US - to policy? Popular education and awareness campaigns!

We have several special guests from the Co-Op community joining us! Sruti Suryanarayanan from @artcoop.bsky.social will be in person and available to chat throughout the day about how everyone can embrace cooperative values and principles, within and beyond the co-operative structure.

It's a critical time to be building the liberatory cultural front in the US. People's assemblies are movement and solidarity economy technologies we must access in this moment. Who will be in New Orleans next month? Thank you National Performance Network and Project South! npnweb.org/ac2025/

All this talk about censorship really has me wanting to dig into the irish surrealist movement of the later half of the 20th century, because as far as I remember that was a protest against church censorship - and I want to see how artists and writers have fought back in the past

"We built systems to care for ourselves. Mutual aid societies. Churches. Co-ops. Cultural spaces. These weren’t nonprofits. They were infrastructures of survival, resistance, and self-determination." - Damien Davis for @hyperallergic.com Yes! hyperallergic.com/1021609/june...

🔥Still buzzing from my convo w/ Boots Riley at #Socialism2025. We talked art, communism & revolution—and he was into my book Teach Truth (even caught the “Heven Tonite” lyric I quoted). Grateful for the brilliance & the laughs. Can’t wait for his new film “I Love Boosters”! www.TeachTruthBook.com

Artists receive political education in frameworks including the Solidarity Economy, Ecological Justice, and Just Transition. Working with organizations on the frontlines of our movements, we distribute art to the people and places where it is meaningful, beloved, and strategic.

Sliding Scale Pricing Workshop by Emma Dulski on June 26: "This will be a space to learn from models of mutual aid, solidarity economy, and gift economy, to work individually on starting your own practice, and to discuss what interdependence within this community." docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

I’m spending this weekend visiting co-ops throughout the state on the Ohio Co-op Solidarity Tour. It’s awesome to workplaces putting solidarity economy principles into practice in Cleveland, Columbus, Dayton, and Cincy!

Hell of a photo

The ONLY way we deal with this is with WAY more people. There needs to be 100k people between ICE and ppl they’re trying to grab constantly.

The sheer determination it takes to write a novel on TOILET PAPER because you've been imprisoned by your country for your previous novel. 📚💙

All of the myths and fantasies we’re hearing about protesters being terrorists, immigrants invading & fentanyl being a WMD should be understood in the context of a pending report from the DOD & DHS (due April 20) about whether Trump should invoke the Insurrection Act. These people want martial law.
